He went on to thank director Nolan and producer Emma Thomas, saying, "Here's my little secret. I needed this job more than it needed me. Chris knew it. Emma made sure she surrounded me with one of the great cast and crews of all time: Emily [Blunt], Cillian [Murphy], Matt Damon. It was fantastic, and I stand here before you a better man because of it."
