In honour of her newly-awarded Presidential Medal of Freedom, we round up our favourite Ellen DeGeneres quotes of all time.
1 “People always ask me, ‘Were you funny as a child?’ Well, no, I was an accountant.”
2“Sometimes you can’t see yourself clearly until you see yourself through the eyes of others.”
3 “You have to stay in shape. My grandmother, she started walking five miles a day when she was 60. She’s 97 today and we don’t know where the heck she is.”
4 “Procrastinate now, don’t put it off.”
5 “In the beginning there was nothing. God said, ‘Let there be light!’ And there was light. There was still nothing, but you could see it a whole lot better.
6 “I think they should have a Barbie with a buzz cut.”
7 “I really don’t think I need buns of steel. I’d be happy with buns of cinnamon.”
8 “I’m a godmother, that’s a great thing to be, a godmother. She calls me god for short, that’s cute, I taught her that.”
