I could never have imagined going to distant countries like Turkey, meeting warm-hearted and kind people like you, and seeing the magnificent beauty of this country.”

Stone said, “I am grateful and honored for the support the Golden Globes have given to my work over the years, which also supports my voice in philanthropic matters.
