I love that we are all here tonight because there is no ceiling.
I share this award with you because you have lifted me up, given me strength.
You have made me so proud.

Lius breakout role was in 1997sAlly McBeal, where she played Ling Woo.
The actress recalled the minimal diversity there was in Hollywood at the time.
Its hard when youre the first person in the room; when youre the only person that is different.
And we are here now and we are collectively special because of that.
But Im here because of this community.
