Quotes

Ellen: (on plans to visit Australia to see Portia's family for Christmas 2008) I've met Portia's mother and her cousins, and I mentioned last night that we should go for Christmas. I can't wait to get there. I'd like to get the show there, I'm going to push hard to make that happen. (edit)
Ellen (on the 2nd Idol Gives Back): Everyone knows it's better to give than to receive, that's why I want to give you some advice. You get the advice and I get the joy of giving -- it's a win-win. Here it is: Give yourself a treat and watch Idol Gives Back. Again, you get the joy of giving and an amazing line-up of artists get to give us an incredible show. Last year, we were able to give away over $76 million. You give, you get. Get it? (edit)
Ellen: (after winning a 2007 Daytime Emmy award for Outstanding Talk Show Host) I was surprised. You can’t take it for granted that they like you. They can like a lot of people. There are lots of shows and The View has a lot of people talking. Whether people love her or not, Rosie brought something to the show this year. I liked what she did. I thought that was interesting. (edit)
Ellen (from 'My Point and I Do Have One'): Sometimes when I am driving I get so angry at inconsiderate drivers that I want to scream at them. But then I remember how insignificant that is, and I thank God that I have a car and my health and gas. That was phrased wrong - normally you wouldn't say, thank God I have gas. (edit)
Ellen (from 'My Point and I Do Have One'): I don't need a baby growing inside me for nine months. For one thing, there's morning sickness. If I'm going to feel nauseous and achy when I wake up, I want to acheive that state the old fashioned way: getting good and drunk the night before. (edit)
