More quotes by Amy Poehler
It's easier to be brave when you're not alone.
Amy Poehler
I really liked the idea of playing that kind of optimistic, super-intense, go-get-'em spirit combined with being a little bit of an outsider. I am really drawn to girls of that age in general, who believe they can be a waitress, scientist, actress, a dentist, a zookeeper...and who really aren't boy-crazy.
Amy Poehler
Dreams never wear you down.
Amy Poehler
So, if you're doing good longform with talented people than you can step out and you can be the president or a construction worker and people accept that. It's really the roles you give yourself.
Amy Poehler
I used to say that I wanted to make great art with people I love. Now I have an addendum to that goal: to get things on the air.
Amy Poehler
I'd like to think that I don't have a stock character that I go to. I'm lucky in that when you get to initiate your own scene, you get to play whoever you want. That's really kind of cool, but all my characters are short. I look on the videotape, and I thought they were taller, but they're all 5'2.
Amy Poehler
No one looks stupid when they're having fun.
Amy Poehler
Ignore what other people think. Most people aren’t even paying attention to you.
Amy Poehler
I think the days of putting your feet up when you're pregnant are long gone. Women who are nine months pregnant now have to work till the bitter end - they don't get to be on TV.
Amy Poehler
If you can surf your life rather than plant your feet, you will be happier.
Amy Poehler
Change is the only constant. Learn to surf your life instead of planting your feet.
Amy Poehler
When you do talk about yourself, or to yourself... try to picture you talking to your own daughter, or your younger sister. Because you would tell your younger sister or your daughter that she is beautiful, and you wouldn't be lying. Because she is. And so are you.
Amy Poehler
Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken.
Amy Poehler
You become more attractive when you love yourself. You ATTRACT the right things when you have a sense of who you are.
Amy Poehler
Most of the women in your life will outlast the men in your life. The Saturday Night Live ladies - Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Tina - and I text pictures of our kids back and forth all the time. It keeps us connected. As my nanny used to say, the older you get, the more important it is to know people that knew you when.
Amy Poehler
It’s never overreacting to ask for what you want and need.
Amy Poehler
We were also performing. We'd give them a list of, like, 'Here's how we want to be introduced' They'd be like, 'Great' And then 5 minutes later they'd come back, 'Bad news: we lost your list. But good news: we've got a trash bag full of weed!'
Amy Poehler
You aren't allowed to feel special, but no one knows the specific ways you are in pain.
Amy Poehler
Listen. Say yes. Live in the moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. Make big choices early and often.
Amy Poehler
What I like about all these giant superhero movies is that they speak to the issues that I'm dealing with - working mother and time management and how to be an interesting, sexual, curious woman in your 40s.
Amy Poehler
