During his acceptance speech, Michael B. Jordan shared:

“Listen, this is power for me. As I’ve said before, I’m here because of my love for the craft itself. I’ve seen many actors step onto this stage who didn’t work for awards or recognition. Artists just do their work—that’s it. And that’s what I’ve always focused on: simply doing the work. I was always told: don’t expect anything to be handed to you. Do your job. Everything else will fall into place over time... I would advise other actors and artists—no matter what field they’re in—to stay honest, stay true to the truth. Dream big, be kind, and be sincere. I believe in karma: what you send out into the universe comes back to you. That’s how I try to live.”
