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.

Amy Poehler
I like to do things that challenge me and make me nervous.
Amy Poehler
There's power in looking silly and not caring that you do.
Amy Poehler

Amy Poehler
