Ford noted that his wife “supports me when I need a lot of support — and I need a lot of support.”

“I’m grateful to all the fine actors — I see many of them here tonight — that I’ve worked with and I’m deeply happy to have had the opportunities that I’ve had,” he continued. “Thank you, I won’t take any more of your time.”
