What I like about all these giant superhero movies is that they speak to the issues that I'm dealing with - working mother and time management and how to be an interesting, sexual, curious woman in your 40s.

More quotes by Amy Poehler
I really liked the idea of playing that kind of optimistic, super-intense, go-get-'em spirit combined with being a little bit of an outsider. I am really drawn to girls of that age in general, who believe they can be a waitress, scientist, actress, a dentist, a zookeeper...and who really aren't boy-crazy.

The federal government began investigating allegations of fraud against the Coalition Provisional Authority, a U.S. contractor accused in a bid-rigging operation involving millions of dollars. Asked to comment, a spokesperson for Halliburton said, 'Millions? With an M? That is adorable.'
Amy Poehler
I am tired of being tired and talking about how tired I am.
Amy Poehler
Please don't drive drunk, okay? Seriously... But by all means, walk drunk. That looks hilarious. Everyone loves to watch someone act like they are trying to make it to safety during a hurricane.
Amy Poehler
I hate Halloween. I hate dressing up. I hate - I wear wigs, makeup, costumes every day. Halloween is like, my least favorite holiday.
Amy Poehler
There's something so romantic about being broke in New York. You gotta do it. You have to live there once without any money, and then you have to live there when you have money. Let me tell you, of the two, the latter is far better.
Amy Poehler
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
I'd like to think that I don't have a stock character that I go to. I'm lucky in that when you get to initiate your own scene, you get to play whoever you want. That's really kind of cool, but all my characters are short. I look on the videotape, and I thought they were taller, but they're all 5'2.
Amy Poehler
Creativity is connected to your passion, that light inside you that drives you. . . . Your creativity is not a bad boyfriend. It is a really warm older Hispanic lady who has a beautiful laugh and loves to hug.
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
Nice manners are the secret keys to the universe.
Amy Poehler
Some people get in the way of change happening. Some people spend their whole careers thinking they can make a difference. Other people want to do as little as possible to get the day done.
Amy Poehler
The minute anyone makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it.
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 think the hardest thing is to know what you want, ask for it, and then to stop talking.
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
Anyone who has the kind of inventive and inspired comic sensibility to be able to do that kind of work must be pretty talented.
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
People who read are people who dream, and we connect through the stories we live and tell and read.
Amy Poehler
You can't stand around and wait to be asked to dance.
