More quotes by Amy Sherman-Palladino
No one in my writers' room can wear sweatpants.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
Writing is a sad process, sitting on your ass for many, many hours, alone in a room, smelling like coffee, sadness and bitterness, and watching your youth leave.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I believe that you have a boyfriend for certain times of your life, and I think the boyfriend who is your most beautiful first boyfriend is not the boyfriend that you're with in college, and your college boyfriend is not your first boyfriend!

The thing about 'Gilmore Girls' is that it's such a specific voice, and I lived with it for so long before it got on the air It's a very specific rhythm and a very specific banter.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I grew up in the Valley, and I didn't know any of our neighbors. I think when you grow up like that, there's always sort of a fantasy of a place where everybody knew each other, and you had that safe sort of feeling.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I don't go on the Internet. I never go on the Internet. I don't go on Twitter. I'm not on Facebook. I've seen friends go into dark, dark holes of sadness because of that. Frankly, I don't have the time or the attention span for it.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
Gilmore Girls was the highlight of my ridiculous life. I can't wait to sit with these unbelievable broads and relive a time where sleep did not exist, where stress and coffee were mama's little helpers, and where we all dove into the deep end together to make something weird and very, very cool.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I think music on television is just uniformly dreadful. It is mundane, it says nothing.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
If we based everything in Hollywood on who was a nice guy, holy moly, we would have no movies. No actors would work. This is not an industry that is ruled by kindness and generosity.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
With directing, you have to wake up early, which stinks, but you get to hang out with the crew, you're laughing, you're active, and you're working with the actors. It's just more fun than writing. Writing is very hard.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I grew up where my parents would literally shove me in the car rather than have to say hello to a neighbor.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
With a sitcom, everyday you do a run through, and people are judging you, and the scripts are being changed nightly, nightly, nightly.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
When you write for a show that's not yours, your job is to hear the voices of the characters and write as best you can for those voices.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
You can have a good moment with a parent you are estranged from, and you have a great moment, and then the next time you see them, everything's back to the way it was before and you guys are throwing knives at each other.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
It's tough to get any film made, even if you're Martin Scorsese. It's just hard to get films made.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I like a certain style of show, I like a certain pace, I like a rhythm, I like a lot of comedy in with my drama.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I think I would be making a mistake to actively try and just do everything completely different from 'Gilmore Girls.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
To me, crazy is not someone who has a creative vision and will fight for it.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I don't begrudge anyone else for anything, but to me, I think the fans deserve to have a studio put money behind their product because when the fans put money into a project and it makes any sort of money, it goes back to the studio. I think that's a little shady.
