While I was doing stand-up, I thought I knew for sure that success

While I was doing stand-up, I thought I knew for sure that success meant getting everyone to like me. So I became whoever I thought people wanted me to be. Id say yes when I wanted to say no, and I even wore a few dresses. – Ellen DeGeneres

Other quotes by 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
