Ellen DeGeneres quotes about
talking important sitting
It's so much better for me to do a talk show. You still have that energy of the audience, and the audience is just as important as that guest that's sitting next to me. It's not about me and that guest exchanging energy and talking. It's about everything that's going on in that room, and they're as much a part of the show as anything. I like this better than anything I've ever done.
mistake people way
It`s hard when paparazzi are photographing every single thing you do. I'm sure a lot of people made mistakes - they just were not documented the way they are now.
stupid thinking people
I watch people's behavior and notice things. I think that's why I became a comedian. I notice how stupid the things we do are.
rough-patches bigs big-picture
One rough patch is not the big picture.
dream talking interesting
My dream guests are really not so much celebrities. They're people who are actually interesting and they're doing something interesting with their lives or had an interesting experience in some way. I really enjoy talking to regular, everyday people.
dog home cat
I get home at the end of the day and I don't want to talk. All I want to do is lay on the floor and pet my dogs and my cats.
talking giving rooms
Standup is more me talking the entire time. There's definitely an exchange of energy because that room, that audience, is giving back.
character writing interesting
Some celebrities, it's interesting, because they're fantastic playing a character when somebody is writing the lines for them, and they're amazing actors, but they're not as comfortable on television in front of a live audience and just having a conversation and being themselves.
entertainers interviewers
I don't consider myself an interviewer as much as an entertainer.
girl strong men
I think there's a whole bunch of things that go along with being a girl. You're not supposed to have opinions or be tough or strong. You're supposed to be soft and vulnerable, and I find those qualities important in both men and women.
years different attention
I always like using different muscles, you can take that however you want. But doing something once a year is fantastic, I highly recommended it if you can do it. It's a wonderful thing, it's very freeing and I can put a lot of energy and attention onto it and it's something I love doing.
shoes clothes attention
I know there's always going to be feedback no matter what the subject. I am shocked by somebody commenting on my shoes or my clothes. Everyone has an opinion, everyone is logging about everything and has an opinion. So I can't possibly pay attention to that.
children aunt discipline
I would rather be the good aunt who never says anything bad and lets the parents discipline the child.
mean thinking laughing
I think people need to laugh everyday. Whether the economy is good or bad, I think the most important thing is to laugh and to feel positive, if you are laughing at something positive. But if you are laughing at mean jokes then it's a wash.
