I just like observing people - it's something I've done ever since I was a kid, and I got really good at it. That's a big part of why I became a comedian. My audience is filled with every kind of person you can imagine, and I love that.

  • -- Ellen DeGeneres 艾伦·德杰尼尔斯

我只是喜欢观察别人——这是我从小就做的事情,而且我做得很好。这也是我成为喜剧演员的一个重要原因。我的听众中有各种各样你能想象得到的人,我喜欢这样。
