Mohn wrapped up his speech with three wishes for the graduates. The first was boundless dumb luck, noting that by choosing USC and the Annenberg School, they had already upped their odds. The second was no failures, though he suspected failure would become their friend too. His final wish was that they be crazy, delusional, and wildly outrageous in the way they see themselves. He pointed to Arnold Schwarzenegger, who had spoken earlier that day, as someone who conquered bodybuilding, acting, and the governor's mansion through sheer force of vision. Then he quoted Gene Simmons of Kiss, whom he called the great American philosopher and his personal mentor, with this memorable line about the power of delusional self-belief.
