More quotes by 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 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 dance world was a big part of my growing up.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
These television shows that have 14 shots of somebody looking at each other with the wind blowing through their hair drive me insane.
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 helps, if you've directed, to be able to write a script that is director-friendly. You're really telling them [directors], This is how it works on this show. It takes some of the guesswork out of it.

No one in my writers' room can wear sweatpants.

It's tough to get any film made, even if you're Martin Scorsese. It's just hard to get films made.

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 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
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 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
I think music on television is just uniformly dreadful. It is mundane, it says nothing.
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
To me, crazy is not someone who has a creative vision and will fight for it.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
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 think you can't go into any story-breaking process thinking, 'What if they come off as unlikeable?' You just gotta break the story because if you know who your character is, the story will tell you. The story will dictate and say, This feels off-kilter for this particular person.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I would recommend that any writer get off their ass at least once and just try it. Directing is a completely different set of muscles. It also affects your writing because, once you start directing, you tend to write your scripts with directing in mind.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
This business [moviemaking] isn't easy. It's a hard business. You just keep plugging away until you figure it out. You write something you love and keep banging on people's heads until somebody lets you do it.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
The problem is that if we had known Satan was taking over the world we would have needed a whole other budget for, like, dragons and flying demons and, you know, like the sun disappearing from the world. Winter is coming. It would have been so expensive the way we would have needed to do it, had we known that the apocalypse was coming.
