I always got along with all types of people - popular people as well as drug addicts.

I wasn't a cliquey person, and I think that's because I came from a large family. I got along with everybody, and I usually got along with the people that people didn't like.

Image
I hate playing pretty or sane people. Most people are not attractive or all there.
Amy Sedaris

Sometimes it's just enough for me to have the idea. I don't need to see it through to the end. When it actually happens, I'm always disappointed because it's never like what I imagined in my head. When an idea becomes a reality, then it's a job. I'd rather just think about it.

Sometimes, to keep things exciting, I decorate my house as if I owned a child. I'll toss a tiny pair of shoes in the hallway or lean small wooden crutches in what I refer to as 'the baby's room,' which is actually a tiny space where I make things. I continue to call it the baby's room because it confuses people and it's creepy.

I'm not very good with drink recipes. If I'm entertaining, I like to come up with a house drink for the evening, one thing I'll make for the whole evening of the whole month.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I've never played anyone who didn't like themselves. I don't care if they're unattractive, but it's important that they think of themselves as attractive. And I guess that's part of their charm.

My little brother Paul. He owns his own floor sanding business called Silly P Hardwood Floors and hes really good.

All my muscles are in my face. I have a very muscular face. I'm good with faces. I always have been.

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.

Gift-wrap the framed artwork on your walls and rehang them - what's nicer than a wall of presents to look at?

I like to entertain in all aspects. When you're with somebody and you're out, you want to be entertained.
