More quotes by Amy Poehler
Always remember your kid's name.
Amy Poehler
Believe me, blond hair can take you really far, especially with the older men. It can really distract from the face. I am convinced I could have had sex with both Tony Bennett and John McCain if we weren't each happily married at the time we all met.
Amy Poehler
We need to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work, it doesn't matter. But work is third.
Amy Poehler
I get worried for young girls sometimes I want them to feel that they can be sassy and full and weird and geeky and smart and independent, and not so withered and shriveled.
Amy Poehler
When young girls are encouraged to explore what they find interesting, they grow up to be interesting women.
Amy Poehler
Listen. Say yes. Live in the moment. Make sure you play with people who have your back. Make big choices early and often.
Amy Poehler
Only at the Golden Globes do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people in television.
Amy Poehler
You become more attractive when you love yourself. You ATTRACT the right things when you have a sense of who you are.
Amy Poehler
A person's tragedy does not make up their entire life. A story carves deep grooves into our brains each time we tell it. But we aren't one story. We can change our stories. We can write our own.
Amy Poehler
Being snubbed is not always a bad thing at awards shows because you end up getting a lot of people coming up to you and telling you how great you are.
Amy Poehler
I had to come to terms with how I saw myself. I had to understand that I wasn't pretty or beautiful like most actresses and that I shouldn't care about whether other people found me attractive or not.
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
Dreams never wear you down.
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
Other people are not medicine.
Amy Poehler
Anger and embarrassment are often neighbors.
Amy Poehler
I just want to help other women achieve as much as they can in society without restraints being imposed on us. It's the most natural and normal thing to want to defend your rights to equal opportunities, equal pay for equal work, and everything that comes with that.
Amy Poehler
It's easier to be brave when you're not alone.
Amy Poehler
I like bossy girls. I always have. I like people filled with life.
Amy Poehler
Both conservatives and liberals watch 'Parks and Recreation,' and they each think the show is for them, which is really cool. 'SNL' was totally different. It was exciting because everyone was paying attention. Political humor works when people know what you're talking about.
Amy Poehler
