Acceptance Speech: "Yeah. Thank you… uhm… uhm…First I’d like to thank Jonathan Demme for uhm asking me to write the song. For having me a part, having me be a part of his wonderful picture and Jon miss ya tonight. Uhm songwriting and film making got one thing in common and that’s I think they’re both acts of faith. The believe that if you tell the story well enough, there will be… that you bring some understanding, where there was none before. So uhm… I hope that this film and, and in some smaller way the song might take a little chip out of the fear and uhm and the intollerance and lack of compassion that we show for one another. Thanks everybody!"
