I always want to look unattractive, it's more fun. I like playing opposites, people who aren't attractive who think they are pretty. That's always interesting to me.

Gift-wrap the framed artwork on your walls and rehang them - what's nicer than a wall of presents to look at?

My characters always like themselves.

I have no desire to carry a movie.

I'm drawn to people who look different. I'm not exploiting. I'm not making fun of them. I'm drawn to them.

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.

I try to pick music for a diner that doesnt involve a lot of lyrics, so you're not paying attention to that. As long as it doesnt dominate the party, it should be more atmosphere music. When I'm by myself, I never play music.

When I meet a new person, something has to be a little off for me to consider them beautiful. It could be crooked teeth, or veins in their skin that are a little too visible, or a really dramatic lazy eye. The first guy I ever kissed had a water head.

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.

That's how all theater should be done - you only have one chance to see it and then it's gone. One night only.

I did shoplift but I didn't get in trouble for it. I shoplifted a lot when I was little. Candy. I would steal candy.

Image
I feel confident writing on my feet with improv, but it's different when you're sitting down and writing it out.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I like crafts that are made out of necessity because they're a little naive - you made it because you needed it.
Amy Sedaris
Image
I always got along with all types of people - popular people as well as drug addicts.

Image
I love theatrical props: a cup filled with solid fake tea, say, or a collection of fake food, including a rubber turkey, which, during the holidays, I wrap in tinfoil so it appears to have just come out of the oven.

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
I feel so free and open to ideas, and I get inspired by everything.

Image
When I'm by myself, I never play music. I have a lot of it, for a girl, but I don't listen to it a lot. I hate picking music out, I'm not good at it.

As my guests leave even my most simple parties, I consistently hear the same thing: 'That was the best time I ever had,' and it's always me saying it. But I do know in my heart they all feel the same way, probably.

I love old cookbooks. I just got such a kick out of them, how the color would be way off or fake looking. The cook books now look so much like magazines, you'll never make food that looks like that. I'd rather see it the ugly way than they way they do it now.
