More quotes by Amy Poehler
I think chemistry is about not acting, but reacting, and not talking, but listening.
Amy Poehler
We need to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work, it doesn't matter. But work is third.
Amy Poehler
You never know what's around the corner unless you peek. Hold someone's hand while you do it. You will feel less scared.
Amy Poehler
In conclusion, I invite the media to all grow a pair. And if you can't, I will lend you mine.
Amy Poehler
Most authors liken the struggle of writing to something mighty and macho, like wrestling a bear. Writing a book is nothing like that. It is a small, slow crawl to the finish line. Honestly, I have moments when I don't even care if anyone reads this book. I just want to finish it.
Amy Poehler
It takes years as a woman to unlearn what you have been taught to be sorry for.
Amy Poehler
I have these meetings with really powerful men and they ask me all the time, 'Where are your kids? Are your kids here?' It's such a weird question. Never in a million years do I ask guys where their kids are. It would be comparable to me going to a guy, 'Do you feel like you see your kids enough?'
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
Your ability to navigate and tolerate change and its painful uncomfortablene ss directly correlates to your happiness and general well-being. See what I just did there? I saved you thousands of dollars on self-help books. If you can surf your life rather than plant your feet, you will be happier.
Amy Poehler
President Bush threw out the first pitch Monday at Cincinnati's great American ball park. 18 Iraqis were killed.
Amy Poehler
The truth is, writing is this: hard and boring and occasionally great but usually not.
Amy Poehler
Change is the only constant. Learn to surf your life instead of planting your feet.
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
If your career is a bad boyfriend, it is healthy to remember you can always leave and go sleep with somebody else.
Amy Poehler
A bossy woman is someone to search out and celebrate. A bossy woman is someone who cares and commits and is a natural leader.
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
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
My phone is trying to kill me. It is a battery-charged rectangle of disappointment and possibility. It is a technological pacifier.
Amy Poehler
I get a little itchy if I don't have some control.
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
