Quan spoke about the years of self-doubt that followed his success as a child actor during his Golden Globes speech. “As I grew older, I started to wonder if that was it — if that was just luck,” he admitted. “For so many years, I was afraid I had nothing more to offer, that no matter what I did, I would never surpass what I’d achieved as a kid.
“Thankfully, more than 30 years later, two guys thought of me,” he continued, referring to the Daniels. “They remembered that kid and they gave me an opportunity to try again. Everything that has happened since, has been unbelievable. Dan Kwan, Daniel Scheinert, thank you so, so much for helping me find my answer. You have given me more than I could have ever hoped.”

Both won at the Critics Choice Awards; Quan also won at the Golden Globes, a ceremony Fraser boycotted because of an alleged sexual assault by former HFPA president Philip Berk, which Fraser has previously revealed as a major reason for his retreat from acting.
