Quote

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 am an aging Girl Scout.

Crafting is putting ideas into action and then holding them together with an inexpensive adhesive.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I always knew I didn't want kids, and I didn't want to get married.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I've always been drawn to people with problems. Not just physical problems, but mental problems too. Like depressed people or killers, all that stuff.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I always got along with all types of people - popular people as well as drug addicts.

Image
I'm always more attracted to the unattractive.

The moment someone says, 'Hey, everyone, listen to the words in this song,' your party is over.
Amy Sedaris
Image
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.
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.

Image
I swear I want to be a food model.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I wouldn't call myself a shut-in. I have the ability to leave my home I just choose not to. But because I'm such a homebody, it's important to be surrounded by things I love.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I like it when people who aren't so attractive, or they have a whole lot of hurdles to get over, I like it when they dress up and they look presentable. That, to me, just touches me.
Amy Sedaris
Image
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.
Amy Sedaris
Image
But I love how people who are musical, they know how to dress.
Amy Sedaris
Image
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
My favorite things often have a story behind them and are usually handmade or discovered at a flea market.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I like people who would rather something be discovered than shoved in your face.

Image
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.
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.

Most people think witches are a coven of lesbians dancing naked in the forest celebrating the semen stolen from imprisoned hypnotized males, which they then use to inseminate one another using turkey basters in order to create a legion of demon babies. Well, that's only part of it. We are also active in community outreach programs.
