Ellen DeGeneres graces the cover of the new issue of Ladies Home Journal, and the talk show queen opens up about….
About when she felt most beautiful:
├óΓé¼┼ôThe day I got married.├óΓé¼┬¥ Ellen├óΓé¼Γäós eyes got red and watery and she runs off. When she returns, she says: ├óΓé¼┼ôYou├óΓé¼Γäóre worse than Barbara Walters!…It├óΓé¼Γäós just very emotional. You find the person you love, you think you├óΓé¼Γäóve come this far├óΓé¼┬ªand anyway, I never thought I├óΓé¼Γäód have a wedding, and I did, and it meant more than I imagined.├óΓé¼┬¥
About their biggest domestic squabble:
Says de Rossi, “I do leave half-finished beverages everywhere. I usually have three cups of tea going at once. I’m Australian. That’s just what we do. And anyway, I was going to thank her in our vows, for picking up all the glasses – and say that she’d have to do that for the rest of her life. She took that on. But she’s very good about it.”
About her off-camera future:
“I don’t need to be on camera. I’m not a workaholic. I love to spend time with my wife, my family, my animals…We’re looking for the right place to have a farm. Someplace like Massachusetts or Nantucket, with seasons. We could get an 1800s farmhouse with land and rescue animals. Then I’m done.”
Her thoughts on beauty:
“To me it’s sad to be defined by beauty, because it’s something that goes away and changes. If you’re trying to chase that forever, you’re in trouble.” At the same time, DeGeneres adds, “as I’ve aged and matured, I just feel better about myself, more confident and more comfortable in my own skin. As that’s happened, I think I look better than I’ve ever looked, because that’s just what happens when you feel better about yourself.”
