Davis has opened up in the past about her childhood struggles saying;

The deserving actress, filled with emotions, said during the ceremony:

“The only thing I could think about is that saying, ‘What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls the butterfly.’ She paused and added, “I cannot believe my life right now.”
