When I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought, " When I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars. I want to have groupies." But my idea of success is different today. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.
Ellen DeGeneresI love furniture. And I thought, why are we not seeing who's making the cool new coffee table and these new designs that come out?
Ellen DeGeneresI have the worst memory ever so no matter who comes up to me - they're just, like, 'I can't believe you don't remember me!" I'm like, 'Oh Dad I'm sorry!
Ellen DeGeneresIf you're in a position where you can help other people, there is nothing better in life than helping other people. Happy Thanksgiving, everybody!
Ellen DeGeneresYou know how you always expect someone to think the same as you and then your like, really shocked when they don't? Like when it's a cold day and you turn to the person next to you and say, 'Its so cold, aren't you cold?' and then they say 'no.' It's kinda like, 'what, are you a communist?'
Ellen DeGeneresNever follow anyone elseโs path, unless youโre in the woods and youโre lost and you see a path and by all means you should follow that. Donโt give advice, it will come back and bite you in the ass. Donโt take anyoneโs advice. So my advice to you is to be true to yourself and everything will be fine.
