I think beauty comes from actually knowing who you are. That's real beauty to me.
Interpretation
True beauty is derived from self-awareness and authenticity.
Ellen Degeneres emphasizes that genuine beauty goes beyond physical appearance; it is found in the understanding and acceptance of one's true self. This inner beauty, rooted in self-awareness and authenticity, is what truly makes a person beautiful in her eyes.
In practice
During a motivational speech about self-identity and confidence.
Now,I'm no scientist,but I know what endorphins are. They're tiny little magical elves that swim through your blood stream and tell funny jokes to each other. When they reach your brain,you hear what they're saying and that boosts your health and happiness. "Knock Knock... Who's There?.. Little endorphin... Little endorphin who?... Little Endorphin Annie." And then the endorphins laugh and then you laugh. See? Its Science.
Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.
When we were growing up our parents somehow made it clear that being famous was good. And I mistakenly thought that if I was famous then everyone would love me.
I personally chose to go vegan because I educated myself on factory farming and cruelty to animals, and I suddenly realized that what was on my plate were living things, with feelings. And I just couldn't disconnect myself from it any longer. I read books like 'Diet for a New America' and saw documentaries like 'Earthlings' and 'Meet your Meat,' and it became an easy choice for me.
If you want to test cosmetics, why do it on some poor animal who hasn't done anything? They should use prisoners who have been convicted of murder or rape instead. So, rather than seeing if perfume irritates a bunny rabbit's eyes, they should throw it in Charles Manson's eyes and ask him if it hurts.
For some reason, we can't just enjoy somebody else's success. Somehow, that's going to affect us. If they have more, then I have less - and I don't know why.
For my peculiar face, I look best when I look as though I'm not wearing make-up.
For me, true beauty has nothing to do with wrinkles and everything to do with the fact that my maternal grandmother raised five children just after the war and remained a fighter throughout her life. True beauty is the slick of red lipstick my paternal grandmother would put on before going to church on Sunday.
I feel that beauty and femininity are ageless
I know a girl who just looks at her face in the medicine cabinet mirror and never looks below her shoulders, and she's four or five hundred pounds but she doesn't see all that, she just sees a beautiful face and therefore she thinks she's a beauty. And therefore, I think she's a beauty, too, because I usually accept people on the basis of their self-images, because their self-images have more to do with the way they think than their objective-images do.
Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.
I _x000D_ would close down all those teenage magazines that encourage young _x000D_ girls to diet. Who says that to be pretty you have to be thin? Some _x000D_ people look better thin and some don't. There is almost a standard being _x000D_ created where only thin is acceptable. The influence of those _x000D_ magazines on girls as young as 13 is horrific.
