More quotes by Amy Poehler
Sometimes painful things can teach us lessons that we didn't think we needed to know.
Amy Poehler
Saying yes doesn't mean I don't know how to say no, and saying please doesn't mean I am waiting for permission.
Amy Poehler
Whenever I read stories of people doing huge pranks on set, all I think is, 'These people have too much time on their hands.' Besides, I don't want to make some poor assistant clean up someone's trailer after I've filled it with, say, Cadbury eggs. See? I can't even think of a good prank.
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
So, if you're doing good longform with talented people than you can step out and you can be the president or a construction worker and people accept that. It's really the roles you give yourself.
Amy Poehler
Don't think. Get out of your head. Stop planning and just go.
Amy Poehler
I love bossy women. Some people hate the word, and I understand how bossy can seem like a shitty way to describe a woman with a determined point of view, but for me, a bossy woman is someone to search out and celebrate. A bossy woman is someone who cares and commits and is a natural leader.
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
An interesting thing about the beginning of our friendship and professional collaboration [with Tina Fey] was that the improve scenes we would do together were basically dramatic and not funny at all.
Amy Poehler
As you navigate through the rest of your life, be open to collaboration. Other people and other people's ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.
Amy Poehler
Ignore what other people think. Most people aren’t even paying attention to you.
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
Creativity is connected to your passion, that light inside you that drives you. . . . Your creativity is not a bad boyfriend. It is a really warm older Hispanic lady who has a beautiful laugh and loves to hug.
Amy Poehler
Just breathe. Sometimes you're only a few breaths away from feeling better.
Amy Poehler
Change is the only constant. Learn to surf your life instead of planting your feet.
Amy Poehler
Always remember your kid's name.
Amy Poehler
Other people are not medicine.
Amy Poehler
It's nice to be short, because people expect less from you.
Amy Poehler
I've said this before, that, when you're in school and you're the class clown, men are really good at making fun at other people and women are really good at making fun of themselves.
Amy Poehler
Try putting your iPhones down every once in a while and look at people's faces.
