Ellen DeGeneres

perididdle"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).
"It's a combination of Something Wild (1986), After Hours (1985) and Mary Poppins (1964)....if Mary Poppins were naked". - on her love scene with Bill Pullman in Mr. Wrong (1996).
"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 sixty. She's ninety-seven 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."
On hosting the Emmys, November 4, 2001: "...what would bug a guy from the Taliban more than seeing a gay woman in a suit surrounded by Jews?"
"Sometimes the greatest things are the most embarrassing."

I love Ellen. Far too much. She's quite my role model, which then again usually frightens people. I tell others that I think she rocks, and usually I get a look and a 'You know she's a lesbian, right?' It usually makes me want to smack them, yes it does. Maybe it's because they look at me like I'm an idiot. 'Cause how brave she was is part of the reason that I adore her so (she's also HILARIOUS and just a good person)...*shrugs*
Yaaay, Ellen!
