2015 commencement speeches

"If I could give my 21-year-old self any advice it would be take as many bikini photos as you can now because your body is smokin’ hot. And it will not be this bangin’ after childbirth." Watch the speech.
Robert De Niro
"Tisch graduates, you made it — and you’re f*****. Think about that. The graduates from the college of nursing, they all have jobs. The graduates from the college of dentistry, fully employed… You’re a dancer, a singer, a choreographer, a musician, a filmmaker, a photographer, a writer, a director, a producer, an actor, an artist. Yeah, you’re f*****."
George W. Bush
"To those of you who are graduating this afternoon with high honours, awards and distinctions, I say, 'Well done.' And as I like to tell the C-students: 'You too, can be president.'" Watch the speech.
Matthew McConaughey
"Let’s admit it, we all got two wolves in us, a good one and a bad one, you know what I’m talking about — and they BOTH wanna eat. We just gotta feed that good wolf a little more than the other one." Read the speech.
Meredith Vieira
"Be the left shark. I’m thinking of Katy Perry’s half-time performance. She was on stage dancing with two sharks. The shark on the right knew every dance move and performed perfectly. But it was the left shark, the one who went rogue and danced to his own crazy beat, who stole the show." Watch the speech.
Stephen Colbert
"Do yourself a favour: Be an easy grader. Score yourself on a curve. Give yourself extra credit. You have the power. You are your own professor now. Which I know is a little creepy because that means you’re showering with your professor. But you have tenure. They can’t fire you." Watch the speech.
