Ellen Degeneres's quotes

I'm a lesbian, an Aquarian, and a vegetarian.
People always ask me 'Were you funny as a child?' Well, I was an accountant.
"I was raised around heterosexuals, as all heterosexuals are. That's where us gay people come from - you heterosexuals." - during her interview on 20/20 (1978).
On her love scene with Bill Pullman in Mr. Wrong (1996): "It's a combination of Something Wild (1986), After Hours (1985) and Mary Poppins (1964)....if Mary Poppins were naked."
The '60s were when hallucinogenic drugs were really, really big. And I don't think it's a coincidence that we had the type of shows we had then, like The Flying Nun (1967).
I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her.
My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She's 97 now, and we don't know where the hell she is.
You say you're sick and tired of hearing about me? I've got news for you: I'M sick and tired of hearing about me.
Sometimes the greatest things are the most embarrassing.
Really, he called me that? Ellen Degenerate? I've been getting that since the fourth grade. I guess I'm happy I could give him work. [When told in an interview that, after she revealed her homosexuality, Jerry Falwell called her 'Ellen Degenerate'].
Every morning, I would come down to the kitchen and I would see myself making coffee and I would think 'oh, she's pretty'. (on what life would be like with an identical twin)
On why she, a nonsinging entertainer, would be a successful American Idol: The Search for a Superstar (2002) judge replacement: "I know I'm going to be a great judge--because I've spent my whole life being judged."
Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth, and everything else will come.
What goes up must come down, which is why I don't wear tube tops.
Never follow anyone else's path, unless you're in the woods and you're lost and you see a path; then, by all means, you should follow that path.
I'm glad I'm funny. I'm glad I make people happy, because that's very important. But I'm most proud to be known as a kind person. . . . Because kindness spreads, and the world is a little nicer out there.
We can sit and worry about what's going to happen to us two weeks from now. I'd rather focus on the amazing things happening right in front of us. Animals help us do that.
Be kind to one another.
Why do they say we're over the hill? I don't even know what that means and why it's a bad thing. When I go hiking and I get over a hill, that means I'm past the hard part and there's a snack in my future.
[on Donald Trump banning transgender people from military service]We should be grateful to the people who wish to serve, not turn our backs on them. Banning transgender people is hurtful, baseless and wrong.
