- Steven Soderbergh: I want to thank anyone who spends a part of their day creating. I don't care if it's a book, a film, a painting, a dance, a piece of theatre, a piece of music. Anybody, anybody who spends a part of their day sharing their experience with us. I think this world would be unlivable without art and I thank you.
