With her Telepictures talk show set to return for its 10th season on September 10th, Ellen DeGeneres garnered herself a share of the spotlight by covering the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine.
The 54-year-old Louisiana native showed off her endearing smile while sporting a ladies suit for the Mary Rozzi shot front page while dishing about the ups and downs of her lengthy career in the spotlight.
A few of the highlights from Miss DeGeneres' feature article are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to The Hollywood Reporter!
On being true to herself on her television program:
"I know that every time I list something that I am, I am potentially alienating a whole group of people. Publicists and managers will encourage you not to say what political party you belong to, what you eat, what you don't eat, who you sleep with and all that stuff. I just think it's dangerous. People need to have all kinds of examples and heroes on television who stand for something."
On making adjustments to the format of her talk show heading into the new season:
"It's really hard to constantly come up with things to talk about. If I had a kid, I could go, 'You wouldn't believe what she did today. But I can't really go, 'I gardened today.'"
Oprah Winfrey on why she respects Ellen:
"Being able to be free - literally - and to express herself in a way that she can be 100 percent truthful with the audience has allowed them to fall in love with her," says Oprah Winfrey, who guest-starred as DeGeneres' therapist in that infamous episode of Ellen. "Honest-to-God truth: I don't believe she would have been as successful as she has become had she not come out."
Taylor Swift on why stars want to go on Ellen's show:
"People tend to gravitate toward the fun... In between segments, Ellen leans over and asks me how I'm really doing and checks in with me about what I talked to her about the last time."
