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
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
Don't treat your heart like an action figure wrapped in plastic and never used.
Amy Poehler
I have a boyfriend who knows how to settle me. He puts his hand on my chest and tells me boring stories. On one of our first nights together I woke up apologizing for my snoring and he pulled out two earplugs he had worn to bed so he could hear what I was saying.
Amy Poehler
Sleep helps you win at life.
Amy Poehler
President Bush threw out the first pitch Monday at Cincinnati's great American ball park. 18 Iraqis were killed.
Amy Poehler
If I wanted to see Jonah Hill masturbate at a pool party, I'd go to one of Jonah Hill's pool parties.
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
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
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
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
You learn early as an actor that creating your own material is the only way to have any control.
Amy Poehler
I also love being able to do something that kids and families can enjoy because I have two children of my own and I want them to grow up watching all the fabulous animated movies and cartoons that I loved to watch as a kid.
Amy Poehler
