More quotes by 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 conclusion, I invite the media to all grow a pair. And if you can't, I will lend you mine.
Amy Poehler
Most authors liken the struggle of writing to something mighty and macho, like wrestling a bear. Writing a book is nothing like that. It is a small, slow crawl to the finish line. Honestly, I have moments when I don't even care if anyone reads this book. I just want to finish it.
Amy Poehler
Rooting for other people's failure does get in the way of your success...when you can wish good things for people and rejoice when they get it, so many gifts and blessings come to you that you can't even imagine.
Amy Poehler
Our ego is a monster that loves to sit at the head of the table, and I have learned that my ego is just as rude and loud and hungry as everyone else's. It doesn't matter how much you get you are left wanting more.
Amy Poehler
I used to say that I wanted to make great art with people I love. Now I have an addendum to that goal: to get things on the air.
Amy Poehler
I think we should stop asking people in their 20s what they 'want to do' and start asking them what they don't want to do. Instead of asking students to 'declare their major' we should ask students to 'list what they will do anything to avoid.' It just makes a lot more sense.
Amy Poehler
I cannot stress enough that the answer to life's questions is often in people's faces. Try putting your iPhones down once in a while, and look in people's faces. People's faces will tell you amazing things. Like if they are angry, or nauseous or asleep.
Amy Poehler
Don't think. Get out of your head. Stop planning and just go.
Amy Poehler
Talented men are not threatened by talented women. They welcome them. And same way with real men.
Amy Poehler
No one looks stupid when they're having fun.
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
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 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
I have to say I enjoy physical comedy and I've always loved to kind of take risks. I don't like worrying too much about how I look or how I come across, so that can sometimes... You know, I like to play those kinds of deluded but fun characters.
Amy Poehler
I like bossy girls. I always have. I like people filled with life.
Amy Poehler
Just breathe. Sometimes you're only a few breaths away from feeling better.
Amy Poehler
Taking risks and making choices is what makes life so exciting.
Amy Poehler
Decide what your currency is early. Let go of what you will never have. People who do this are happier and sexier.
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
