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.

When people tell me they are going to go scrapbooking, I say, 'Why don't you make it yourself.' It's like chocolate-chip cookies. People buy the cookie-dough roll and slice it, and then they lay it on a cookie sheet. That's not making chocolate-chip cookies.

My kitchen's pink, like skin-tone pink, and I lowered my spice rack so it's eye level - it's true! - and my phone, so I can reach it when I fall, it's right there.

Image
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.

Image
More men than women like 'Strangers With Candy'. Pretty girls don't like the show. They don't like to see an ugly lady.

Crafting, or 'making things,' has always been a delightful pastime of mine because it requires putting common elements together in order to achieve a lovely something that nobody needs.

If I know I have to memorize lines, I'm really gonna try to memorize lines. It's hard for me sometimes, because somebody wrote these words and you're trying really hard to get them the way they said it.

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.

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 choose to do unattractive people, because then I can pretend they think they're attractive.

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.

Well I went to New Orleans to cover the jazz festival for Trio, it's this new arts channel, it's really great.

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

A lot of crafters, they're shut-ins.
