5. SOUNDBITE (English) Charlize Theron/Actor, on the audience that spent all day in the rain:
“The ones that are out there right now are my heroes because they're sopping wet and you can still hear them. So, it's just incredible to have that kind of spirit happening right now. I think it's the work that's being done here collectively is something that's really important. And bringing people together with the understanding of having an awareness outside of yourself or outside of your bubble and seeing what the needs are and trying to step up to solve some of those problems. All of those things are - it's a holistic approach. And I feel like today here we're actually - we're we're doing that. It's holistic, really. It doesn't matter what he does, it actually,

7. SOUNDBITE (English) Charlize Theron/Actor, on the current labor issue with SAG and WGA:
“I would hate to call it a trend. I think - I think things like that kind of healthy discourse is something that's needed. And I think ultimately, I don't think anybody wants it to be that way. But I really do believe that the necessity and the desperate minds that want change are kind of pushed into a corner, and that's the only thing they can do. My own union - two of my, like a lot of our unions are feeling this way. You're seeing it across the board. I think it's really, truly coming from a real need, a desperation for things to change and also pointing out some of the unfairness that is out there. We live in a world where we have really highs and lows and we've lost our middle class. We've - we've paid no attention to them.”

“Yeah. I mean, the rain is a little bit upsetting, but we still - we don't let them stop the show. You know, I think even - I come from Brazil and we love the party. We love the celebration. So, I think this is the vibe that we just jump with the rain. It's a little we just mess up everything and it's in a good way.”

(Reporter: Looking out there, seeing all those people that stayed through the rain soaking wet, what do you got to say to them?
“Thank you. Thank you. It's because of them that we're here. You know, I was thinking of what an extraordinary lineup of artists we have. But the true stars tonight are the people in that crowd who earned their way here by being changemakers or making a difference in their world? And they stood out here in the rain, pouring rain all day long and poured their hearts to this cause. And it was it was really emotional.”
