It’s very hard to have ideas. It’s very hard to put yourself out there, it’s very hard to be vulnerable, but those people who do that are the dreamers, the thinkers and the creators. They are the magic people of the world.

More quotes by 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
Be easy on yourself. Have fun. Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who doesn't make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life the better. The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it.
Amy Poehler
I would love to do a serious period drama. Oh, absolutely. I mean, you'll find most comedians want to do more serious stuff, most musicians want to be comedians, and most serious actors want to be musicians.
Amy Poehler
It likes it when you don’t depend on it. It will reward you every time you don’t act needy. It will chase you if you act like other things (passion, friendship, family, longevity) are more important to you. If your career is a bad boyfriend, it is healthy to remember you can always leave and go sleep with somebody else.
Amy Poehler
I get a little itchy if I don't have some control.
Amy Poehler
I am tired of being tired and talking about how tired I am.
Amy Poehler
I've grown tired of smoke and mirrors. I yearn for the clean, well-lighted place.
Amy Poehler
Sleep is out... tired is the new black.
Amy Poehler
Doing what you're afraid of, getting out of your comfort zone, taking risks like that- that's what life is.
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
We [with Les Charles] started talking about hotel stories, and we found that a lot of the action was happening in the hotel bar. We actually thought of that while we were in a bar: Why would anyone ever leave here?
Amy Poehler
Sleep can completely change your entire outlook on life. One good night's sleep can help you realize that you shouldn't break up with someone, or you are being too hard on your friend, or you actually will win the race or the game or get the job. Sleep helps you win at life.
Amy Poehler
Just breathe. Sometimes you're only a few breaths away from feeling better.
Amy Poehler
Too often we women try to tackle chaos that is not ours to fix.
Amy Poehler
The earlier you learn that you should focus on what you have, and not obsess about what you don't have, the happier you will be.
Amy Poehler
In my twenties I tried cocaine, which I instantly loved but eventually hated. Cocaine is terrific if you want to hang out with people you don't know very well and play Ping-Pong all night. It's bad for almost everything else.
Amy Poehler
Symmetry is pleasing but not as sexy. Einstein is cool but Picasso knows what I'm talking about.
Amy Poehler
I hope and assume that every good comedy writer, no matter the age, has a moment where they discover how great Cheers is.
Amy Poehler
I love my boys so much I fear my heart will explode. I wonder if this love will crack open my chest and split me in half. It is scary, this love.
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
