“Getting in the gym makes me feel the best I possibly can, so I make sure I get that in. It’s all about finding your strength, feeling comfortable in your own skin. I never thought I’d be in such a great place. That’s the beauty of working on yourself and taking care of yourself. You get to places where you never thought you’d be.”  People Magazine

“It’s easy to get caught up in what other people have to say about you – and I have myself – but you can’t please everybody. If you’re happy, that all that really matters.

As long as I love what I’m wearing and feel great in it, then there’s no reason to care what anybody else thinks. If you go out and feel comfortable and confident, you can rock anything and people will see that. And if they don’t, then it’s their own opinion.”  People Magazine

“I was an ugly duckling and a loner. I was known as the kid who had a good voice and no father. My mother laughed at my ambition. She never hugged me or said words like, ‘I love you.’ I never would have ended up doing what I’m doing. I owe her my career. I was always trying to prove to her that I was worthy of being somebody. If you don’t feel loved as a child, you spend your life trying to get that love. People who have two parents who love them are very lucky. They are not left with a hole to fill. You have to fill it with yourself, eventually.” CLOSER

On the 20th Anniversary of Ellen’s coming out episode: 

“No matter what the cost is at the time, it is always important that whoever the essence of us is, we are born individually, we are all unique, and we are supposed to be that exact person. We’re not supposed to conform. We’re not supposed to be like somebody else. As long as you stay true to exactly who are are, you will be rewarded in ways that you can’t imagine.” Ellen Degeneres Show

“You can’t eat beauty, it doesn’t feed you…beauty was not a thing that I could acquire or consume, it was something that I just had to be. You can’t rely on how you look to sustain you. What actually sustains us, what is fundamentally beautiful, is compassion–for yourself and for those around you. That kind of beauty inflames the heart and enchants the soul.”
