I had no intention of becoming a comedian. I just wanted to make people happy. I tried everything-I shucked oysters, I painted houses, I sold vacuum cleaners. But there was always a voice saying, You should be doing something different. And it was usually my boss and I was being fired.
Ellen DeGeneresI've got a lot to say about television. There's a lot going on in television right now and I feel like a huge part of television.
Ellen DeGeneresI still get scared at night. Every tiny creak, every little noise, I open my eyes real wide and listen with them. Have you noticed that? When itโs dark and you canโt see a thing, you open your eyes really wide and glance back and force, like your eyes become your ears?
Ellen DeGeneresFind out who you are and figure out what you believe in. Even if it's different from what your neighbors believe in and different from what your parents believe in. Stay true to yourself. Have your own opinion. Don't worry about what people say about you or think about you. Let the naysayers nay. They will eventually grow tired of naying.
