“Love saves me. Love really does heal you. And I think that her love for me is so uncoditional that it actually makes me feel like maybe I should kind of start accepting myself for exactly who I am because she seems to. I love her and I am very proud to be her wife. And I made up my name. I made up thi name because I thought it was important to be independent of my family and kind of be an individual. And as I’ve gotten older, I realized the sense of belonging, and I really wanted to be part of Ellen’s family. And I am, but I think just solidifying that by taking her name makes me feel - makes me feel like I have a family.” Portia de Rossi.
