Don't make anybody a homemade gift. Unless you're really good, or it's going to be really practical. If it's a little thing you think is cute 'cause you made it, just forget it.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I always find something to keep me busy.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I always want to look unattractive, it's more fun. I like playing opposites, people who aren't attractive who think they are pretty. That's always interesting to me.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I like crafts that come out of poverty or necessity. There used to be hobby shops where you'd get your supplies, and then you'd use your imagination.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I like crafts that are made out of necessity because they're a little naive - you made it because you needed it.

I can't imagine going to an all-girls school. I went to a public school.

Image
Usually, the best ideas come from other people's good ideas, which then, after a short gestation period, become your ideas.

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