You must realize that honorary degrees are given generally to people whose SAT scores were too low to get them into schools the regular way. As a matter of fact, it was my SAT scores that led me into my present vocation in life, comedy.

Believe it or not, I was just given an honorary doctorate degree from the University of Tennessee.

I received an honorary doctorate for my work. Maybe one of these works is considered the equivalent of a Ph.D.

Honorary degrees and lifetime achievement awards are very encouraging. I know that it might sound strange that a writer who has published many books still needs encouragement, but this is true.

I had two different degrees: One in International Relations/Political Science and another degree in Radio and Television Production.

I'm such a generalist. I love everything. If I had the opportunity, I think I would do about 10 different degrees, five different master's degrees, probably as many Ph.D.s, and you can't do that.

My brother's got two degrees. He got one for me.

I'm married to an American, and although we live in Europe, I think of myself as an honorary American.
