Amy Sedaris
I've been to some funerals where there's a lot of laughing - it's about celebrating their new journey. I can't think of anything. There's humor in everything. There's gotta be humor in everything.
Amy Sedaris
I'd rather have a part where you walk into a room and you leave. That's perfect for me.
Amy Sedaris
I think it's good for a person to spend time alone. It gives them an opportunity to discover who they are and to figure out why they are always alone.
Amy Sedaris
If I'm creating something for myself, then I want to have fun.
Amy Sedaris
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
But I always like to play ugly people who think they're pretty.
Amy Sedaris
I feel confident writing on my feet with improv, but it's different when you're sitting down and writing it out.
Amy Sedaris
Don't leave a piece of jewelry at his house so you can go back and get it later he may be with his real girlfriend.
Amy Sedaris
If you see a shy person, ask them some questions like, 'Why are you so shy? Tell everyone, we're all listening.
