"I feel like I've been doing this so long and I feel like there's a respect factor which is really about, you know," she said. " I'm here because my peers respect me or respect my work. And I don't take that for granted. I was waiting for my car the other night and I was talking to this man who does documentaries and he goes, 'I want you to know that you have so much support from everybody and we're all rooting for you.' And that made me almost, like, cry, you know? It was so cool."
