More quotes by Amy Poehler
Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken.
Amy Poehler
Hey, guess what? Turns out the free market? Not so free. Wall Street was hit hard Monday when Lehman Brothers filed for bankruptcy, Merrill Lynch was sold to Bank of America, and insurance giant AIG neared a collapse of its own. Basically, if your commercials air during golf tournaments, you're done.
Amy Poehler
Your career and your passion don't always match up. Plenty of talented people don't have the careers they want. Plenty of untalented people make millions and make movies. There is a difference between determination and talent.
Amy Poehler
When you're doing sketch comedy and you're pregnant, it's like wearing a giant sombrero in every sketch.
Amy Poehler
Take your risks now as you become older, you become more fearful and less flexible. And I mean that literally. I hurt my knee this week on the treadmill, and it wasn't even on.
Amy Poehler
Other people are not medicine.
Amy Poehler
I find that, in general, the amount of sharing men do with each other in one year is about the same as what I share with my female friends while we wait for our cars at the valet.
Amy Poehler
In the trial of Saddam Hussein on Tuesday, witnesses emotionally testified about the abuse the former dictator inflicted on them. Afterward, a tearful Saddam said, 'Ah, good times.'
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
Earlier today former Vermont Governor Howard Dean became the new head of the Democratic National Committee -- no word on who will be the neck.
Amy Poehler
The creation of the UCB Theatre is by far my proudest professional accomplishment.
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 think the hardest thing is to know what you want, ask for it, and then to stop talking.
Amy Poehler
I am tired of being tired and talking about how tired I am.
Amy Poehler
I had to come to terms with how I saw myself. I had to understand that I wasn't pretty or beautiful like most actresses and that I shouldn't care about whether other people found me attractive or not.
Amy Poehler
I also think if you're an actor and you can improvise, when you go on an audition and you can improvise you're just a genius. If you can, you know, take a Tide commercial and you can just say one funny line that's not in the commercial they think you're a genius.
Amy Poehler
I believe great people do things before they are ready.
Amy Poehler
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
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
I have withdrawal pains about not getting to work the people (on the show).
Amy Poehler
