More quotes by Amy Poehler
It doesn't matter how much you get you are left wanting more.
Amy Poehler
Saying yes doesn't mean I don't know how to say no, and saying please doesn't mean I am waiting for permission.
Amy Poehler
The computer is the new fireplace, everyone in the family gathers around the digital hearth for warmth.
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
A person's tragedy does not make up their entire life. A story carves deep grooves into our brains each time we tell it. But we aren't one story. We can change our stories. We can write our own.
Amy Poehler
Girls, if a boy says something that isn't funny, you don't have to laugh.
Amy Poehler
Just breathe. Sometimes you're only a few breaths away from feeling better.
Amy Poehler
When you're doing sketch comedy and you're pregnant, it's like wearing a giant sombrero in every sketch.
Amy Poehler
Improvisation is almost like the retarded cousin in the comedy world. We've been trying forever to get improvisation on TV. It's just like stand-up. It's best when it's just left alone. It doesn't translate always on TV. It's best live.
Amy Poehler
Sleep helps you win at life.
Amy Poehler
Don't start a scene where two people are talking about jumping out of a plane. Start the scene having already jumped. If you are scared, look into your partner's eyes. You will feel better.
Amy Poehler
Telling me to relax or smile when I'm angry is like bringing a birthday cake into an ape sanctuary. You're just asking to get your nose and genitals bitten off.
Amy Poehler
There's something so romantic about being broke in New York. You gotta do it. You have to live there once without any money, and then you have to live there when you have money. Let me tell you, of the two, the latter is far better.
Amy Poehler
Any painful experience makes you see things differently. It also reminds you of the simple truths that we purposely forget every day or else we would never get out of bed.
Amy Poehler
[At Boston College] I started working on the kinds of skills that you need for comedy. It's about being creative and learning to use your gift for being able to let loose and be very unself-conscious. It took me time though before I was really able to get comfortable doing that.
Amy Poehler
If you do a scene and you really like a character in it or a premise in it to write it down and to work on it so that you can have five or six characters that you can pull out in an audition.
Amy Poehler
Fighting aging is like the War on Drugs. It's expensive, does more harm than good, and has been proven to never end.
Amy Poehler
Creativity is connected to your passion, that light inside you that drives you. . . . Your creativity is not a bad boyfriend. It is a really warm older Hispanic lady who has a beautiful laugh and loves to hug.
Amy Poehler
The creation of the UCB Theatre is by far my proudest professional accomplishment.
Amy Poehler
Always remember your kid’s name. Always remember where you put your kid. Don’t let your kid drive until their feet can reach the pedals. Use the right size diapers…for yourself. And, when in doubt, make funny faces.
Amy Poehler
