More quotes by Amy Poehler
Don't treat your heart like an action figure wrapped in plastic and never used.
Amy Poehler
Improvisation is almost like the retarded cousin in the comedy world. We've been trying forever to get improvisation on TV. It's just like stand-up. It's best when it's just left alone. It doesn't translate always on TV. It's best live.
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.
Amy Poehler
It's not communism, it's shouldn't be that everybody gets a try no matter how good or bad they are. It's our profession and our art, so we should eventually strive to be working with the best people.
Amy Poehler
When you host a show you have to hopefully be funny at the top and set the tone for a really fun evening.
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
I have these meetings with really powerful men and they ask me all the time, 'Where are your kids? Are your kids here?' It's such a weird question. Never in a million years do I ask guys where their kids are. It would be comparable to me going to a guy, 'Do you feel like you see your kids enough?'
Amy Poehler
Creativity is connected to passion - that light inside that drives you.
Amy Poehler
Do work that you are proud of with your talented friends.
Amy Poehler
Decide what your currency is early. Let go of what you will never have. People who do this are happier and sexier.
Amy Poehler
I find my relationships at 40-plus are really emulsified, juicy relationships because you have more of a sense of who you are and who you want to be around.
Amy Poehler
When your children arrive, the best you can hope for is that they break open everything about you. Your mind floods with oxygen. Your heart becomes a room with wide-open windows. You laugh hard every day.
Amy Poehler
I want to be around people who dream and support and do things.
Amy Poehler
Calling people 'sweetheart' makes most people enraged.
Amy Poehler
Try putting your iPhones down every once in a while and look at people's faces.
Amy Poehler
I like the person who commits and goes all in and takes big swings and then maybe fails or looks stupid who jumps and falls down, rather than the person who points at the person who fell, and laughs.
Amy Poehler
The desire to work with Burrows-Charles was really to change NBC's identity, to say, We want to be in the sophisticated-adult-comedy business.
Amy Poehler
It's interesting that people always want to ask me and a lot of working mothers, how do you do it? And it's like well, just like everybody else. It proves it's a bad question.
Amy Poehler
When young girls are encouraged to explore what they find interesting, they grow up to be interesting women.
Amy Poehler
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken.
Amy Poehler
