More quotes by Amy Poehler
Ladies like improv stilts, and I think men like improv giant cocks. But one of the great things about improv is that you get to play some roles you'd never get to play otherwise, you know, like the old Italian pizza-maker who's passing on the business down to his son. You get to play it all when you improvise.

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
So, if you're doing good longform with talented people than you can step out and you can be the president or a construction worker and people accept that. It's really the roles you give yourself.
Amy Poehler
The great thing about taking big chances when you're younger is you have less to lose, and you don't know as much. So you take big swings.
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

Ignore what other people think. Most people aren’t even paying attention to you.
Amy Poehler
I'm going to do 'The Social Network Two: The Electric Boogaloo.' And I have a part in 'Beige Swan.' I'm going to be the lead, but I don't dance. I just do a lot of sitting down. It's too tiring to get up and dance around. That should be coming out in 20-never.
Amy Poehler
I do not improvise in heels.
Amy Poehler
The only way we will survive is by being kind. The only way we can get by in this world is through the help we receive from others. No one can do it alone, no matter how great the machines are.
