Here are the values that I stand for: honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values. – Ellen DeGeneres
People always ask me, Were you funny as a child? Well, no, I was an accountant. – Ellen DeGeneres
Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody elses expense. And I find that thats just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody elses feelings. – 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
