"I ask people why they have deer heads on their walls. They always say because it's such a beautiful animal. There you go. I think my mother is attractive, but I have photographs of her"

- Ellen DeGeneres

About this Quote

In this quote, Ellen DeGeneres is questioning the thinking behind people displaying deer heads on their walls. She finds it curious that the reason given is constantly because of the animal's charm. To her, this explanation seems inadequate and she uses a funny comparison to illustrate her point. She states that she also finds her mom appealing, however she does not feel the need to display photographs of her on her walls. This quote highlights the absurdity of valuing something entirely for its physical appearance and challenges the societal standards of what is considered beautiful. It likewise showcases Ellen's wit and ability to use humor to make a thought-provoking declaration.
