Ellen DeGeneres
Emote. It's okay. It shows you are thinking and feeling.
Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres
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.
Ellen DeGeneres
I hate having to do small talk. I'd rather talk about deep subjects. I'd rather talk about meditation, or the world, or the trees or animals, than small, inane, you know, banter.
Ellen DeGeneres
I cannot imagine not going home to animals. They are the closest thing to God. They don't harbour resentment.
Ellen DeGeneres
Beauty is about being comfortable in your own skin. It's about knowing and accepting who you are.
