"Ke Huy Quan reacts to his 1st Oscar nomination: 'Dreams do come true'" in ABC News (25 January 2023)
“
When I stepped away, that dream, all the dreams that I had of, you know, imagining one day of walking down the red carpet at the Oscars, those scenes dissipated and they were so distant that I didn't think they would ever come back. And so for me to be here today, to be nominated, it is so surreal. And it goes to show that, you know, if you stick with it, dreams do come true no matter how long it takes.
