00:00Oh my god, oh my god, thank you, thank you, thank you, don't, don't stand up again, thank you, wow, wow, I'm really trying hard not to keep it together, thank you, you may all sit, thank you so much, I have everything written, I don't know if I should read or if I should just go off, I'll just start and see
00:29This is very surreal for me and I feel like I'm the luckiest woman I know right now, standing here today on this street, 15 years ago we came here and we were driving by this boulevard, who would have ever thought that we would get such an honor
00:58Thank you Hollywood, Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, thank you so much Disney, thank you so much everybody for showing up today and honoring me, I feel very very humbled and grateful and words cannot express this surreal feeling
01:16I'm just a girl from a town in Israel and I could never imagine such moment, I never dreamt of becoming an actress and I never knew that these things are possible
01:43But it's crazy for me because this is gonna last long after I'm out of here and it's just, you know, to me it's even more than any award because we can share it with the world, it's not just, I'm not taking it home, this is for everybody and I'm surrounded with such iconic names, I'm just overwhelmed with joy
02:11Okay, now I'm gonna go back to this and say that the star will remind me that with hard work and passion and some faith, anything is possible
02:24I didn't reach this moment alone, I have so many incredible people to thank who've lifted me up along the way, my team at WME, my lawyers, everyone who are here, you've all been part of my journey
02:45And I'm forever grateful for your support and for your love, Vin, you took a chance on a complete unknown and invited me to the Fest and the Furious family, I mean, talking about starting big, okay?
03:09It was my first movie ever and your faith in me completely changed my life, completely changed the course of my life, thank you so much for your trust, thank you for showing up, thank you for your love, I love you and we're always family
03:30Patty, you are my wonder woman behind the screen, behind the camera, I am so grateful the world has brought us together and it's really made me believe that everything happens for a reason
03:53And the universe works in mysterious ways as we always say, and going through this journey with you together, I already said that, made me believe that nothing happens for a reason, you've been a beacon of light and always guided me with so much love, with so much compassion
04:17Always, your friendship is everything, you've always been my friend from the very first moment we've met in this shady restaurant in Atlanta, thank you for guiding me with such vision and so much heart, working with you taught me to trust myself and my powers as an actress
04:40And it was only after our movie that I finally started to call myself an actress, so thank you, thank you for being an inspiration and thank you for being such a friend
04:51To my incredible fans, sorry, I'm trying to keep it together, to my incredible fans out there, thank you so much, I wouldn't be standing here without you, thank you for all the love, all the support, for watching my films, I love you so much and I'm honoring you today
05:15And to all the young women out there, the young people, especially young girls watching, if a girl from Rosh Haayin can get a star at the Hollywood Boulevard, anything is possible
05:31And finally, Katie I love you, finally to my family, who my extended family and friends are all now watching from Israel, I love you, thank you for always being there for me, even though you're far away, you're always close to my heart and I love you
05:55My career has been a wild adventure and through it all, one person has been there steadily beside me, my husband Yaron
06:12I can't even begin to express how much you mean to me and you're my rock, you're my compass, you're my firefighter, you're my best friend, you inspire me so much to dream
06:33Whenever my success grew, I always got pregnant, I needed to ground myself, that's why I tell my agents, it's either I'm making movies or making babies, no more babies, but Yaron always reminded me to dream and to be free to do whatever it is that I want to do
06:55Thank you so much Yaron, I love you so much, I could not have been here without you, this is you as much as it's mine
07:05And finally, our daughters, Alma, Maya, who's birthday is today, she's 8, Dandan, Daniela and baby Ori, everything I do, I do for you
07:23Thank you, being your IMA is my greatest, greatest privilege and the most meaningful thing I've ever done, thank you for being part of the circus, like we always say, you allow me to fulfill my dreams and I hope that you know that you can do the same
07:43You inspire me every day to strive to be a better person, to be strong and kind and brave just the way you are and I hope that you're proud and I want you to know that this is not about fame or movies or any of that, this is about going after your passion and working hard and I want you to know that if you do that, you can achieve anything, my sweet girls
08:13Absolutely anything, never forget that, I love you, thank you everybody, I appreciate all of you, thank you so much
