"I feel like a fraud. My name is actually not even Ashton. Ashton is my middle name. My first name's Chris. And, it always has been. It got changed when i was like 19 and I became and actor. But, there was some really amazing things that I learned when I was Chris, and I wanted to share those things with you guys because I think its helped me be here today."
"So, It's really 3 things."
"The first thing is about oppurtunity, the second thing is about being sexy, and the third thing is about living life."
"So first: the oppurtunity. I believe that oppurtunity looks a lot like hard work. When I was 13, I had my first job with my dad carrying shingles up to the roof. And then I got a job washing dishes at a restaurant, and then I got a job in a grocery store deli, and then I got a job at a factory sweeping cheerio dust of the ground. And I've never had a job in my life that I was better than. I was always just lucky to have a job. And every job I had was a stepping stone to my next job, and I never quit my job until I had my next job. And so, oppurtunities look a lot like work."
"Number two: being sexy. The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughful, and being generous. Everything else is crap, I promise you. It's just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So dont buy it. Be smart, be thoughful, and be generous."
"The third thing is something that I just relearned when I was making this movie about Steve Jobs. And Steve Jobs said, when you grow up, you tend to get told that the world is the way that it is, and that your life is to live your life inside the world and try not to get in too much trouble, and maybe get an educaton, and get a job, and make some money, and have a family. But life can be much broader then that when you realize one simple thing. And that is that, everything around us, that we call life, was made up by people that are no smarter than you. And you can build your own things. You can build your own life that other people can live in. So build a life, don't live one. Build one. Find your oppurtunites and always be sexy."
"I love you guys."
