Even before I knew I was gay, I knew I didnt want to have a child. I knew I didnt want to have one. I never want to have to release it from me. Listen, I love babies. I love children. And I melt when Im around them. I also love my freedom and I love that I can sleep at night. – Ellen DeGeneres
People always ask me, Were you funny as a child? Well, no, I was an accountant. – 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
I work really hard at trying to see the big picture and not getting stuck in ego. I believe were all put on this planet for a purpose, and we all have a different purpose… When you connect with that love and that compassion, thats when everything unfolds. – Ellen DeGeneres
One does not jump, and spring, and shout hurrah! at hearing one has got a fortune, one begins to consider responsibilities, and to ponder business; on a base of steady satisfaction rise certain grave cares, and we contain ourselves, and brood over our bliss with a solemn brow. – Charlotte Bronte
