00:02if Jamie Lee was here what would she say I say Michelle you say oh my god oh my
00:13goodness oh my god thank you Steven for the generous introduction and thank you
00:20to the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for this incredible honor I mean this is
00:25this is beyond insane and surreal it's true I have stage fright I am totally so
00:36I am so psyched and growing up in Malaysia I lived between two worlds of wonder one was
00:43the glowing cinema screens which always felt so far away and the other was the quiet fishing
00:50trips with my parents under the vast open skies my father would point out the North Star he said
00:58the one you could always trust to guide you home and beside him was my mom who is the real
01:05diva here
01:07who taught me that the horizon was far wider than I ever imagined between the two of them I found
01:14my
01:14roots and my wings I honestly never dreamed that one day my old North Star would be here etched into
01:23the ground of Hollywood Boulevard the path from Malaysia to here wasn't a straight line there
01:30were moments that I wondered if I belonged but I was fortunate fortunate to be part of stories that
01:37crossed borders and languages stories that reminded us how deeply connected we all are the star make
01:45Harry one name but it represents so many people who made this journey possible I hope it also reminds
01:53someone somewhere that it is possible that where you begin does not define where you can go because very
02:03easy once I was a little girl from Malaysia sitting under the vast sky looking up at a single steady
02:12star
02:13and daring to believe I could follow it and now there's one of the ground
02:22of the ground
02:27Oh
02:27and
