12 haziran 2005'deki konuşmasının ingilizce metninin girişi şöyledir;
(bkz: uludağ sözlük'ü ilim irfan yuvası haline getirme timi)
"I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories."
(birinci bölüm bu. sözlük hata verdi "oha" diye, o yüzden böyle bölümlüyoruz)
