“When I was younger I thought success was something different. I thought, " When I grow up, I want to be famous. I want to be a star. I want to be in movies. When I grow up I want to see the world, drive nice cars. I want to have groupies." But my idea of success is different today. For me, the most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and not to give into peer pressure, to try to be something that you're not. To live your life as an honest and compassionate person. To contribute in some way.” WorldWayWantGivingTryingPersonsImportantIdeasDifferentMotivationalTodaySuccessLife IsPurposeStarsGrowsGrowing UpNiceHonestCarIntegrityPressureImportant ThingsCompassionatePeersLive Your LifeGiving BackPeer PressureGroupieNice CarsImportant Things In Your Life Author:Ellen DeGeneres

“I used to live in Los Angeles, but I didn't want my kids to grow up in the thick of the obsession with movie-making. There's a lot of sensationalism and superficiality. I wanted to take my kids out of that and raise 'em up elsewhere, and I wanted to stop being preoccupied with whether my star is on the rise or the descent. I can't imagine having a much greater life, and I don't want to be preoccupied with things that don't matter. But of course, ironically, my two oldest daughters have decided that they're going to be actresses.” WantI CanTwoMatterKidsWantedUsedCoursesStarsGrowsGrowing UpGreaterImagineDaughterDecidedRaisesActressesObsessionEmsLos AngelesThickElsewhereDescentSuperficialityMovie MakingSensationalism Author:Woody Harrelson
