We start off strong with “I believe there’s nothing I can do or say in this moment to make it OK,” I'm taking a lot of this from Variety's transcript, bc it's a lot of boo hoo.
"I just want everyone to know my intentions have never been in a place to upset or hurt anymore. It’s not who I am. I’ve been through so many ups and downs in my life, and this is one of them,"
“There’s a huge question of the why - why am I doing this?” she continued. “Well, I certainly couldn’t have expected this kind of attention, and we aren’t going to break rules and we will be in compliance. I wanted to do this, because as I said, this is bigger than me and there are other people’s jobs on the line.”
“I deeply apologize to writers. I deeply apologize to unions,” Barrymore said.
