Chelsea Handler

Just like, okay, that's how you're reacting to my desire to say something that's kind of embarrassing to say I want to be famous. You know, what does that mean? You're just an idiot.

And sometimes when I think back, I go, God, all you want to do is be... Now I know why I wanted to do that. You know what I mean? Now I know why. Now I know why when I go on stage and I get to perform in front of 3,000 to 5,000 people and people have paid their money to be...

That is my purpose, being able to write my stories and share my, like, my love and my success with all of these people, people I've never met get to share in my success, you know? That is really what it was about, but I was too young to understand that. Now I understand that that was the purpose all along. That was what that, like, drive and that motivation was.

I mean, I guess I do because I just. But anyway, I wanted to cap off the story before I forget with regard to my aunt. So my aunt, for many years after that, when I started to become successful, you know, and we would always tell that story. Like all of the kids, my cousins are very close to me. My cousin is on the road with me every weekend. I grew up with those kids. Right.

And they're still my obviously they're very close to me today. So when whenever we would tell that story, I remember my aunt's name is Gabby. We'd like remember Gabby when you told Chelsea she was fat and she couldn't she wasn't going to be successful. And she would be like, I never said that. I never said that. I never said that. So about 10 years ago, she was in a tough spot.

and I was able to buy her a house. And we surprised her. I went with my two cousins and she had just come out of a divorce and we bought a house for her in the Valley. We brought her to the house to look at it. And as we were looking at it, we were like, this is your house. And had a pool and she loves her grandchildren. So it was like so meaningful, right?

And my cousin had the video

actual video of her telling me that I was going to be, that if I wanted to make it into Hollywood, I was going to have to lose weight, which she had been denying. And this is so our family, we're rough on each other. You know what I mean? We really give it to each other hard.
