Memorable Graduation Advice From the Stars11 of 38
J.K. Simmons to University of Montana's Class of 2016:
"Be here now. It's something that I continue to tell myself: to appreciate the moment, to live life as it is happening, not dwell on the past, not be too anxious about the future but to do my best to be here now.
Take care of yourself: Eat your vegetables. Get some exercise. Floss. Use your turn signal. I know that has nothing to do with taking care of yourself. It's just a pet peeve of mine. I needed to get that off my chest. Be on time. Please have the decency to not make people wait for you.
Take your telephone and use it to make a telephone call. Call an old person. Call your mom. Call your dad."
