Portia on Ellen: “I’ve changed so much as a person since I met Ellen. I used to think that the way to be strong was to be tough. I used to think that to be independent was to not need anyone. But she’s taught me that the more vulnerable you are, and the softer you are, and the more you allow people into your life and into your heart, the happier you are and the more valuable you are to other people. Ellen has completely changed the way I look at life. She’s made me not worry about what other people think — I mean, I’m still working on that, I have to be honest. But she’s taught me that who I am is perfectly good enough. And that I don’t have to pretend to be anything other than who I am. And that’s been the most incredible gift that she’s given me. That anyone could give to anybody that they love.”

Ellen on Portia: “She saves me every minute of the day and I don’t know what I’d do without her. She’s so amazing in every way. If i had to pick one thing that’s the best about her is that she’s so loving. She’s just the most loving kind generous person to everyone. She’s sweet, she treats everyone in a very kind way and that’s the best thing about Portia.”
