‘Thank you! I just realised you can see completely through my dress, so now I’m standing with them together.
To even me it seems like I’m never leaving this stage. I really wanna just thank Colin and Cary and everybody at HBO for putting their money where their brains are and to Cary Brokaw, who stayed with this project for 14 years and finally saw it through so beautifully.
And to my magnificent Mike Nichols, in London, thank you thank you for casting me in this your crowing achievement of your already astonishing career.
And I’d like to thank Kevin Huvane, my agent, because Tim Robbins forgot to thank his agent. So… and I’m sure he thanks his agent, too .
And I’d like to thank my colleague and friend of 25 years, Roy Helland, my hair and makeup man, who continues to do his best to destroy my natural good looks.
I’d like to thank the beautiful cast, ehm, James Cromwell, Justin Kirk, Mary-Louise Parker, Al Pacino, Ben Shenkman, eeehmm, fabulous Emma Thompson, wish you were here, Patrick Wilson and Jeffrey Whright, and finally I’d like to thank the seringly gifted Tony Kushner, whose compassion and rage and love gave birth to this Angels’ eye-view of what we all can be in America.
And, ehm, I just wanna say that I don’t think the two biggest problems in America are that too many people wanna commit their lives to one another “til death do us part” and steroids in sports, I don’t think those are our two biggest problems. That’s all, thank you very much!
