And a lot of times in slam poetry I feel like people are so worried about the performance that the words might not be as strong.

More quotes by Amber Tamblyn
Aubrey obviously plays Karen's, Sarah Michelle Gellar's, younger sister. And, um, she's sort of always been the underdog in the family and somebody who is not as ambitious or driven as her sister, as Karen's character, so she's sort of always felt like she's had to follow in her sister's footsteps.

After I saw my first poem published, I became interested in the immortalization of words and the fact that you could put something out there that you felt and that meant something to you, and that it could be interpreted by many different people to mean many different things.

IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING THAT TERRIFIES YOU, MOST LIKELY YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.

My parents are artists, so I grew up with my mom having bonfires, seven guitars, and talented musicians and artists around like Jack Hirschman.

My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad.

I tried not to make God this big deal in Joan's life. She treats God like a friend: she's nice to him some days, and other days mean, and then cries when she needs help.

People who have seen me read usually come up afterwards and invite me to be a part of something.

I have never reached certain levels of fame, like Lindsay Lohan did, or even Brittany Murphy. My career has always been this sort of even-keeled, steady existence. I was also raised by poets, and I've been doing poetry as long as I've been acting.

I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach

Feminism? The word itself means exactly the same thing to me as the word God does - it's a spirituality that is deeply personal, deeply subjective, and deeply no one else's business. You can identify the word however you want, it's just the non-exploration of it that is unacceptable to me.

The poetry when I was a kid felt like something that I could control, and whether it failed or not, whether it was good or not, was totally on me and I could accept that. It was entirely mine.

When people ask me what I do for a living, I always say, I get rejected for a living. And that's true.

I liked the humor of it, I've always enjoyed a sense of humor in God and in religion and in spirituality

I think we, especially in American culture, are so afraid to talk about death. And I'm not talking about literal death. I'm talking about shedding skin. I'm talking about rebirth, ultimately, and how we continue to change as human beings and continue to grow. There's that great Henry Miller quote, All growth is a leap in the dark.

A lot of young poets today, from what I've heard and experienced, can't get their heads past George W. Bush, and I've heard so many poems about this democracy and this era of politics that I'm kind of bored by it
Amber Tamblyn
I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong, I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God

But I didn't even see God in the show as being very spiritual, I see him or her, it, as being something that is just relevant and very important in her life.

I think it's hard to be taken seriously as a poet, period.

And one of my other friends could not believe in God if he came down and tapped her on the shoulder. She's a biologist - a student at UCLA - and I don't judge her either, because I really believe that God is a personal opinion, and only that

Right afterward I read Fast Food Nation. That book changed my life: It made me a vegetarian.
