More quotes by Amy Poehler
It likes it when you don’t depend on it. It will reward you every time you don’t act needy. It will chase you if you act like other things (passion, friendship, family, longevity) are more important to you. If your career is a bad boyfriend, it is healthy to remember you can always leave and go sleep with somebody else.
Amy Poehler
Emotions are like passing storms, and you have to remind yourself that it won't rain forever. You just have to sit down and watch it pour outside and then peek your head out when it looks dry.
Amy Poehler
Rooting for other people's failure does get in the way of your success.
Amy Poehler
I had no idea how to get guys to notice me. I still don't. Who cares?
Amy Poehler
Ladies like improv stilts, and I think men like improv giant cocks. But one of the great things about improv is that you get to play some roles you'd never get to play otherwise, you know, like the old Italian pizza-maker who's passing on the business down to his son. You get to play it all when you improvise.
Amy Poehler
It’s very hard to have ideas. It’s very hard to put yourself out there, it’s very hard to be vulnerable, but those people who do that are the dreamers, the thinkers and the creators. They are the magic people of the world.
Amy Poehler
Some people get in the way of change happening. Some people spend their whole careers thinking they can make a difference. Other people want to do as little as possible to get the day done.
Amy Poehler
Any actor or actress that tells you that they don't watch their stuff is lying.
Amy Poehler
In conclusion, I invite the media to all grow a pair. And if you can't, I will lend you mine.
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. That it's better to comment on something than to commit to it. That it's so much cooler to be unmotivated and indifferent.
Amy Poehler
Only at the Golden Globes do the beautiful people of film rub shoulders with the rat-faced people in television.
Amy Poehler
I believe great people do things before they are ready.
Amy Poehler
If you're a good improviser, you improvise well enough that people think that you're doing a sketch.
Amy Poehler
I think real life couples on screen are kind of deadly. For the most part, they're kind of deadly. You'd be surprised. Unless they're falling in love onscreen for the first time, you don't have quite the same energy for some reason.
Amy Poehler
You aren't allowed to feel special, but no one knows the specific ways you are in pain.
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
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
Shame makes people abandon their children and drink themselves to death. It also keeps us from true happiness. An apology is a glorious release.
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
We were also performing. We'd give them a list of, like, 'Here's how we want to be introduced' They'd be like, 'Great' And then 5 minutes later they'd come back, 'Bad news: we lost your list. But good news: we've got a trash bag full of weed!'
Amy Poehler
