Comedy can be, especially in a writers room, really aggressive, kind of a very male-dominated room, and it would be hard for women. Its not a nurturing place. Its not like a lot of women are going to say, I cant wait to live that lifestyle and be in a writers room until 2 or 3 a.m. – Ellen DeGeneres
The first time probably people really were aware of me, I unfortunately had the title of Showtimes Funniest Person in America. And thats a really tough title to travel around with when youre not even known. – Ellen DeGeneres
