During her speech, Billie dedicated the award to “anyone who experiences hopelessness and the feeling of existential dread, and feeling like ‘what’s the point?’”
Variety reports that she continued, “We all feel like that occasionally. “I have really not wanted to be here. Sorry, dark, damn. I’ve spent a lot of time feeling that way. I want to say to anyone that feels that way, be patient with yourself, and know that it’s worth it all. And I think it’s good to be alive.”
