More From Portia De Rossi

Our whole culture is based on the appetite for buying, on the idea of a mutually favorable exchange. .... for the man an attractive girl - and for the woman an attractive man - are the prizes they are after. 'attractive' usually means a nice package of qualities which are popular and sought after on the personality market. what specifically makes a person attractive depends on the fashion of the time, physically as well as mentally. ... two persons thus fall in love when they feel they have found the best object available on the market, considering the limitations of their own exchange values.

Certainly there are things worth believing. i believe in the brotherhood of man and the uniqueness of the individual. but if you ask me to prove what i believe, i can't. you know them to be true but you could spend a whole lifetime without being able to prove them. the mind can proceed only so far upon what it knows and can prove. there comes a point where the mind takes a leap—call it intuition or what you will—and comes out upon a higher plane of knowledge, but can never prove how it got there. all great discoveries have involved such a leap.

I feel like being an actor it is a great way to do your job and be a parent, because you have a lot of freedom. you have a job and then the job ends and than maybe you don't have another job for a while or maybe you chose not have another job for a while. for an actor, it's like maybe you don't see your kid for two weeks while you are filming but then you might have three months off where you are at home every day and picking him up from school. i find it's a great thing.

The difference between ignorant and educated people is that the latter know more facts. but that has nothing to do with whether they are stupid or intelligent. the difference between stupid and intelligent people-and this is true whether or not they are well-educated-is that intelligent people can handle subtlety. they are not baffled by ambiguous or even contradictory situations-in fact, they expect them and are apt to become suspicious when things seem overly straightforward.

There are many who find a good alibi far more attractive than an achievement. for an achievement does not settle anything permanently. we still have to prove our worth anew each day; we have to prove that we are as good today as we were yesterday. but when we have a valid alibi for not achieving anything we are fixed, so to speak, for life.
