In my twenties I tried cocaine, which I instantly loved but eventually hated. Cocaine is terrific if you want to hang out with people you don't know very well and play Ping-Pong all night. It's bad for almost everything else.

More quotes by Amy Poehler
Too often we women try to tackle chaos that is not ours to fix.
Amy Poehler
We don't want to be afraid to make a choice because we're afraid to make a mistake because most decisions aren't final. Feelings change all the time. You can always change your mind and taking risks and making choices is what makes life so exciting because we never know what's going to happen. Every day something new comes our way.
Amy Poehler
It's very hard to watch comedy for me, when I'm doing a comedy show, because I either watch a show and I love it, and I'm jealous, or I watch a show and I see all the problems with it, and I'm angry that I watched it.
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
Any time you talk to anyone about something that they love, they're, like, their most beautiful. It's a cool gift to get to talk to people about what they love.
Amy Poehler
If you're a good improviser, you improvise well enough that people think that you're doing a sketch.
Amy Poehler
Anybody who doesn't make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life, the better.
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
The pressure of 'what are you going to do?' makes everyone feel like they haven't done anything yet.
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
That is the motto women should constantly repeat over and over again. 'Good for her! Not for me.'
Amy Poehler
You can't stand around and wait to be asked to dance.
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
Symmetry is pleasing but not as sexy. Einstein is cool but Picasso knows what I'm talking about.
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
Sleep and I do not have a good relationship. We have never been good friends. I am constantly chasing sleep and then pushing it away. A good night's sleep is my white whale. Like Ahab, I am also a total drama queen about it. I love to talk about how little sleep I get. I brag about it, as if it is a true indication of how hard I work.
Amy Poehler
Aw, I feel bad if [Taylor] was upset. I am a feminist, and she is a young and talented girl. That being said, I do agree I am going to hell. But for other reasons. Mostly boring tax stuff.
Amy Poehler
When you do talk about yourself, or to yourself... try to picture you talking to your own daughter, or your younger sister. Because you would tell your younger sister or your daughter that she is beautiful, and you wouldn't be lying. Because she is. And so are you.
Amy Poehler
In the trial of Saddam Hussein on Tuesday, witnesses emotionally testified about the abuse the former dictator inflicted on them. Afterward, a tearful Saddam said, 'Ah, good times.'
Amy Poehler
You have to care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are or how good people think you look.
Amy Poehler
