My characters always like themselves.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I love theatrical props: a cup filled with solid fake tea, say, or a collection of fake food, including a rubber turkey, which, during the holidays, I wrap in tinfoil so it appears to have just come out of the oven.
Amy Sedaris
Image
Crafting is putting ideas into action and then holding them together with an inexpensive adhesive.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I've always been drawn to people with problems. Not just physical problems, but mental problems too. Like depressed people or killers, all that stuff.
Amy Sedaris
Image
But I always like to play ugly people who think they're pretty.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I'm more of a clown, a tragic clown. Yeah. I just like humor to come out of characters.
Amy Sedaris
Image
When you hear someone use the word 'meds' instead of the word 'medicine,' chances are they're no stranger to massive doses of mind-altering psychotropic drugs. Back out of the room slowly.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I wouldn't call myself a shut-in. I have the ability to leave my home I just choose not to. But because I'm such a homebody, it's important to be surrounded by things I love.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I always knew I didn't want kids, and I didn't want to get married.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I hate playing pretty or sane people. Most people are not attractive or all there.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I have a lot of fake food in my apartment, but I'm picky about it. Old plaster food, like from the '50s is really nice, hollowed out paper-mache food from old plays - the new stuff just looks too good.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I failed first grade, which is my biggest problem. You always feel like a failure, like you're stupid.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I feel confident writing on my feet with improv, but it's different when you're sitting down and writing it out.
Amy Sedaris
Image
People always think I'm Amy Poehler, which never bothers me. I mean, Amy Poehler is great.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I have a couple freeloader friends, but it's okay. I know they're gonna come in with their arms flying in the air empty-handed.
Amy Sedaris
Image
When I meet a new person, something has to be a little off for me to consider them beautiful. It could be crooked teeth, or veins in their skin that are a little too visible, or a really dramatic lazy eye. The first guy I ever kissed had a water head.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I stayed in New York City for the first time, I'd always wanted to do that.
Amy Sedaris
Image
That's why I love improvisational theater so much - you do it [scene] once and then it's done. You don't get bogged down with a lot of preplanning and repetition. If I do something and it gets a laugh, I don't want to do it again. Why bother? I'm just repeating myself. It's boring.

Image
Don't associate me with comedy. And please don't say actress. I would never call myself any of those things. I hate it when people call me that.

If you see a shy person, ask them some questions like, 'Why are you so shy? Tell everyone, we're all listening.
