[APPLAUSE]
OPRAH WINFREY: Oh my goodness!
I'm at Harvard!
Wow.
To President Faust, my fellow honorands, Carl,
that was so beautiful-- thank you so much--
and James Rothenberg, Stephanie Wilson, Harvard faculty
with a special bow to my friend Dr. Henry Louis Gates.
[APPLAUSE]
All of you alumni with a special bow to the Class of '88,
you're $115 million.
[CHEERING]
And to you, members of the Harvard Class of 2013!
Hello.
[APPLAUSE]
I thank you for allowing me to be
a part of the conclusion of this chapter of your lives
and the commencement of your next chapter.
To say that I'm honored doesn't even
begin to quantify the depth of gratitude that
really accompanies an honorary doctorate from Harvard.
Not too many little girls from rural Mississippi
have made it all the way here to Cambridge,
and I can tell you that I consider today
as I sat on the stage this morning getting teary for you
all and then teary for myself, I consider today
a defining milestone in a very long and a blessed journey.
My one hope today is to-- is that I can be
a source of some inspiration.
I'm going to address my remarks to anybody
who's ever felt inferior or felt disadvantaged, felt
screwed by life.
This is a speech for the Quad.
[LAUGHTER]
[APPLAUSE]
[CHUCKLING]
Actually I was so honored.
I wanted to do something really special for you.
I wanted to be able to have you look under your seats,
and there would be free--
free master and doctorate degrees.
But I see--
I see you got that covered already.
I will be honest with you.
I felt a lot of pressure over the past few weeks to come up
with something that I could share with you that you
hadn't heard before because after all,
y'all went to Harvard.
I did not.
But then I realized that you don't have to necessarily go
to Harvard to have a driven, obsessive type A personality,
but it helps.
And while I may not have graduated from here,
I admit that my personality is about as Harvard as they come.
My television career began unexpectedly.
As you heard this morning, I was in the Ms. Fire Prevention
contest.
That was when I was 16 years old in Nashville, Tennessee,
and you had the requirement of having
to have red hair in order to win up until the year
that I entered.
So they were doing the question and answer period
because I knew I wasn't going to win in the swimsuit competition.
So during the question and answer period,
the question came why, young lady, what would you
like to be when you grow up.
And by the time they got to me, all the good answers were gone.
So I had seen Barbara Walters on The Today Show
that morning, so I answered I would like to be a journalist.
I would like to tell other people's stories
in a way that makes a difference in their lives and the world.
And as those words were coming out of my mouth, I went, whoa,
this is pretty good.
[LAUGHTER]
I would like to be a journalist.
I want to make a difference.
Well, I was on television by the time I was 19 years old,
and in 1986, I launched my own television show
with a relentless determination to succeed.
At first, I was nervous about the competition,
and then I became my own competition,
raising the bar every year, pushing, pushing, pushing
myself as hard as I knew.
Sound familiar to anybody here?
Eventually, we did make it to the top,
and we stayed there for 25 years.
[APPLAUSE]
The Oprah Winfrey Show was number 1 in our time slot for 21
years, and I have to tell you.
I became pretty comfortable with that level of success.
But a few years ago, I decided as you will at some point
that it was time to recalculate, find new territory,
break new ground.
So I ended the show and launched OWN, the Oprah Winfrey Network.
The initials just worked out for me.
So one year later after launching OWN,
nearly every media outlet had proclaimed
that my new venture was a flop, not just
a flop but a big, bold flop they call it.
I can still remember the day I opened up USA
Today and read the headline Oprah not quite standing
on her OWN.
Really?
USA Today, now that's the nice newspaper.
[LAUGHTER]
