Quote

I'm not a good storyteller. I always think I'm going to get interrupted, or something's going to get edited. I think that comes from being in a large family, so you have to get your story in really quick or someone cuts you off.

I have no desire to carry a movie.
Amy Sedaris

I like dramas and stuff. That's what I watch, but it seems weird that I'd be in it.

Image
Imagination! My problem is that I have so many ideas, I never have enough time to use them all. Just the other day I thought up eleven things I could do with a flowerpot. Eleven! Three of those things didn't even involve plants.

Amy Sedaris
Image
Before you can give of yourself to others you must know what of yourself you have to give. Every person is special. In all the land there is only one you, possibly two, but seldom more than sixteen.

I always find something to keep me busy.
Amy Sedaris
Image
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 am an aging Girl Scout.
Amy Sedaris

I like working with the public, I like working with food, and I like making cash.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I don't really consider myself to be a comedian. I mean, it's not like I'm sitting around writing jokes or anything. I just like dressing up and pretending to be other people.
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
You just can't enjoy any of the movie when you're in it.
Amy Sedaris
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.
