Transcript ｜ Robert De Niro Tisch Salute
You made it! And you’re fucked.
TISCH graduates, you made it! And you’re fucked. Think about that.
The graduates from the college of nursing, they all have jobs. The proud graduates of the NY School of Law, they’re covered. And if they’re not, who cares? They’re lawyers. The English majors are not a factor. Teachers, they’ll all be working. Shitty jobs, lousy pay, yeah, but still working.
When it comes to the arts, passion should always trump common sense. You aren’t just following dreams, you’re reaching for your destiny.
Yeah, you’re fucked!
The good news is that that’s not a bad place to start.
On this day of triumphantly graduating, a new door is opening for you. A door to a lifetime of rejection. It’s inevitable. It’s what graduates call the ‘the real world.’ You’ll experience it auditioning for a part or a place in a company. Rejection might sting, but my feeling is that it often has very little to do with you.
It’s difficult for me to come with advice for you who have already set upon your life’s work, but I can tell you some of the things I tell my own children.
First, whatever you do, don’t go to TISCH School of the Arts. Get an accounting degree instead. Then I contradict myself, and as corny as it sounds, I tell them don’t be afraid to fail. I urge them to take chances, to keep an open mind, to welcome new experiences and new ideas.
I tell them then… I tell them that if you don’t go, you’ll never know. You have to have the… just have to be bold and go out there and take your chances.
By the way there will be times when your best is not enough. There can be many reasons for this, but as long as you give your best, you’ll be ok.
Did you get straight A’s at school? If so, good for you. Congratulations. But in the real world, you’ll never get straight A’s again.
There are ups and there are downs. And what I want to say to you today is that it’s ok.
Break a leg! Next! Thank you.
