It's not communism, it's shouldn't be that everybody gets a try no matter how good or bad they are. It's our profession and our art, so we should eventually strive to be working with the best people.

More quotes by Amy Poehler
I don't watch a lot of comedy. For relaxation and escape, I watch shows about how people survive bear attacks. Or old episodes of 'Law and Order,' the Benjamin Bratt/Jerry Orbach era.
Amy Poehler
The creation of the UCB Theatre is by far my proudest professional accomplishment.
Amy Poehler
I want to be around people that do things. I don't want to be around people anymore that judge or talk about what people do. I want to be around people who dream and support and do things.
Amy Poehler
I find my relationships at 40-plus are really emulsified, juicy relationships because you have more of a sense of who you are and who you want to be around.
Amy Poehler
It's interesting that people always want to ask me and a lot of working mothers, how do you do it? And it's like well, just like everybody else. It proves it's a bad question.
Amy Poehler
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken.
Amy Poehler
Don't treat your heart like an action figure wrapped in plastic and never used.
Amy Poehler
Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken.

Amy Poehler
You have to be where you are to get where you need to go.
Amy Poehler
As you navigate through the rest of your life, be open to collaboration. Other people and other people's ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.
Amy Poehler
My idea of the perfect exercise class is this: The teacher gives us all a hug and goes, “You did it! You showed up! Let’s lie down.” We all lie down and she’s like, “How is everybody feeling?” We’re like, “Great!” And the teacher’s like, “Great!” Then we all get to leave 20 minutes early.
Amy Poehler
I am a firm believer that every few years one needs to shake one's life through a sieve, like a miner in the Yukon. The gold nuggets remain. The rest falls through like the soft earth it is.
Amy Poehler
Nobody looks stupid when they are having fun.
Amy Poehler
A new poll reveals that 56% of Americans believe that Wal-Mart is bad for the country, while the other 44% work there.
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
Anger and embarrassment are often neighbors.
Amy Poehler
Well, the first thing we do is take our brain out and put it in a drawer. Stick it somewhere and let it tantrum until it wears itself out. You may still hear the brain and all the shitty things it is saying to you, but it will be muffled, and just the fact that it is not in your head anymore will make things seem clearer. And then you just do it.
Amy Poehler
Symmetry is pleasing but not as sexy. Einstein is cool but Picasso knows what I'm talking about.
