More quotes by 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
I failed first grade, which is my biggest problem. You always feel like a failure, like you're stupid.
Amy Sedaris
I like crafts that are made out of necessity because they're a little naive - you made it because you needed it.
Amy Sedaris
I don't know my telephone number or anything like that, but when I do have to make a call, I just pull my body over to the side and squat. I don't want to be one of those people who are on their phone all the time.

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
I'm very domestic I love cleaning. I love cooking. I like waiting on people. I just like to make things. I don't break that down to be weakness, or the only things women can do, or putting me back 20 years.
Amy Sedaris
Begin your story with a sentence that will immediately grab hold of your listener's ears like a surly nun in a Catholic school.
Amy Sedaris
although it has been said that idle hands are the devil's workshop, when it comes to teenagers, both idle and active hands are the devil's workshop.
Amy Sedaris
I'm drawn to people who look different. I'm not exploiting. I'm not making fun of them. I'm drawn to them.
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 feel so free and open to ideas, and I get inspired by everything.
Amy Sedaris
There's humor in everything. There's gotta be humor in everything.
Amy Sedaris
Well I went to New Orleans to cover the jazz festival for Trio, it's this new arts channel, it's really great.
Amy Sedaris
But I always like to play ugly people who think they're pretty.
Amy Sedaris
I'd just much rather see an ugly person take the trash out than see somebody really pretty taking the trash out.
Amy Sedaris
If I'm creating something for myself, then I want to have fun.
Amy Sedaris
