“I work really hard at trying to see the big picture and not getting st...” — Ellen DeGeneres Quote

“I work really hard at trying to see the big picture and not getting stuck in ego. I believe we're all put on this planet for a purpose, and we all have a different purpose... When you connect with that love and that compassion, that's when everything unfolds.”

“If you're going to be honest with yourself, you have to admit that you go into show business wanting people to talk about you and wanting everyone to know who you are. But that also means there are going to be a whole bunch of people who don't like you. No matter who you are.”

“I'm interested in the history of the soul: the everyday life of the soul, the things that the big picture of history usually omits - or disdains.”

“I don't believe in careers. I believe in work. I'm not interested in some 'big picture that would be really good for me'.”

“The reality, I believe, is that all change starts small. The big picture is just too unwieldy, too incomprehensible and seemingly immovable. But give us something individual, quantifiable and personalize-able and, suddenly, our perspective shifts to the one.”
