I am interested in people who swim in the deep end. I want to have conversations about real things with people who have experienced real things. I'm tired of talking about movies and gossiping about friends. Life is crunchy and complicated and all the more delicious.
Amy Poehler
Everyone needs love, never hurt a living thing [and] don’t worry about the choices you make because everything will be fun because life is a closet filled with pool toys.
Amy Poehler

I'd say any good set or any comedy that I've worked on, that's worked, has been comedians pitching ideas back and forth to each other. A lot of like, 'What if you say this? What about this?'
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
Don't think. Get out of your head. Stop planning and just go.
Amy Poehler
Shame makes people abandon their children and drink themselves to death. It also keeps us from true happiness. An apology is a glorious release.
Amy Poehler
The creation of the UCB Theatre is by far my proudest professional accomplishment.
Amy Poehler
If you can speak about what you care about to a person you disagree with without denigrating them or insulting them, then you may actually be heard.
Amy Poehler
Keep your virginity for as long as you can, until it starts to feel weird to you. Then just get it over with.
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
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
There's power in looking silly and not caring that you do.
Amy Poehler
Girls have to fight against a lot of the same stuff we did growing up... peer pressure, exploitation, etc. But what worries me the most is this trend that caring about something isn't cool. That it's better to comment on something than to commit to it. That it's so much cooler to be unmotivated and indifferent.
Amy Poehler
