That's what I call myself when I'm drunk, "The Baby."
― Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...

"...To be honest, I'd be the last person who should be doling out gardeinng advice. I don't have the patience for growing things. Yes, I realize there's nothing quite as satisfying as eating food that you've pulled up from the ground and that's why, at the height of the planting season, I bury cans of tomato soup in my backyard and dig them up in late spring."
― Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...

That nagging feeling is absolutely right on target. You are not that smart. But I have more good news for you. You are also not alone."
― Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...

― Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...

― Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...

"Enjoy your life. God gave us our bodies as a gift. (Granted, to some of us it's kind of a gag gift, but that's okay too.) Wear what you want, love who you want, and have fun."
― Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...

"...there are a lot of self-righteous people out there. And if you try to adjust your life to please them...you're just going to go crazy and risk being as unhappy as these self-righteous kooks are."
― Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...

"I guess what I'm trying to say is, there are a lot of self righteous people out there. And if you try to adjust your life to please them - by the way you dress, your sexuality, or the ass faces you like to make - you are just going to go crazy and risk being as unhappy as these self righteous kooks are.
So enjoy your life. God gave us our bodies as a gift.(Granted, to some of us it's kind of a gag gift, but that's okay too.) Wear what you want, love who you want, and have fun."
― Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...

― Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...

"When you decide to go on a diet, it's never because you feel great and want to reward yourself by reducing your food intake and exercising more."
― Ellen DeGeneres, The Funny Thing Is...
