I was coming home from kindergarten – well they told me it was kindergarten. I found out later I had been working in a factory for ten years. Its good for a kid to know how to make gloves. – Ellen DeGeneres
Designing is my hobby. If I didnt do what I do for a living – at some point when I dont do this for a living – Ill probably just do design work. I love finding really special pieces of furniture. – Ellen DeGeneres
Ive been trying to find women writers for my staff for a while now and I have three women on my staff and three guys so its pretty equal. I dont know why that is. Its been the same thing for a while. Its hard for female comedians to stand out. Thats weird. Thats a shame. – Ellen DeGeneres
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
