More quotes by 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.

I don’t really believe in cars, but I drive one every day and I love that it gets me places and makes life so much easier and faster and I don’t know what I would do without it.
Amy Poehler
I find that, in general, the amount of sharing men do with each other in one year is about the same as what I share with my female friends while we wait for our cars at the valet.
Amy Poehler
Nice manners are the secret keys to the universe.
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
Talented men are not threatened by talented women. They welcome them. And same way with real men.
Amy Poehler
I like to do things that challenge me and make me nervous.
Amy Poehler
I also think if you're an actor and you can improvise, when you go on an audition and you can improvise you're just a genius. If you can, you know, take a Tide commercial and you can just say one funny line that's not in the commercial they think you're a genius.
Amy Poehler
Don't treat your heart like an action figure wrapped in plastic and never used.
Amy Poehler
Take your risks now as you become older, you become more fearful and less flexible. And I mean that literally. I hurt my knee this week on the treadmill, and it wasn't even on.
Amy Poehler
I think if you can dance and be free and not embarrassed, you can rule the world.
Amy Poehler
I believe great people do things before they are ready.
Amy Poehler
As an actor, you can certainly, at any moment and at any time, discover 400 people who think you're stupid, fat and ugly.
Amy Poehler
I have a boyfriend who knows how to settle me. He puts his hand on my chest and tells me boring stories. On one of our first nights together I woke up apologizing for my snoring and he pulled out two earplugs he had worn to bed so he could hear what I was saying.
Amy Poehler
You have to be where you are to get where you need to go.
Amy Poehler
I think we should stop asking people in their twenties what they 'want to do' and start asking them what they don't want to do.
Amy Poehler
There's only, like, five perfectly symmetrical people in the world, and they're all movie stars, and they should be, because their faces are very pleasing to look at, but the rest of us are just a jangle of stuff, and 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.
