Maggie Q, who starred with the person being talked about, expressed her admiration for them by stating that they were a truly wonderful person. According to Maggie, Hollywood wasn't even deserving of someone as amazing as the person being talked about. This was because they were very kind, warm, and generous, and always acted with a strong sense of morality. In fact, no one else in Hollywood had a moral compass as impressive as theirs.

I'm having trouble comprehending this. Anyone who had the privilege of knowing you was quite fortunate. That's the only thing I'm certain of.
