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
I had everything Id hoped for, but I wasnt being myself. So I decided to be honest about who I was. It was strange: The people who loved me for being funny suddenly didnt like me for being… me. – Ellen DeGeneres
I get bored easily, so I need to do a lot. Ive started a record label, so I get to nurture new talent and talk about music, which is a passion of mine. Ive written another book. And I get to come to work and do the TV show, which is always really fun. – Ellen DeGeneres
I would love to have the same rights as everybody else. I would love, I dont care if its called marriage. I dont care if its called, you know, domestic partnership. I dont care what its called. – Ellen DeGeneres
