More quotes by Amy Sherman-Palladino
Life doesn't tend to fix things or wrap them up in bows.
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
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
I think music on television is just uniformly dreadful. It is mundane, it says nothing.
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 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.

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.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
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
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
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
As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.
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.
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
Families can be the most detrimental things to have in your life. They are sometimes the most poisonous relationships that people have. Sometimes family is the thing that keeps you from ever achieving what you want to achieve, and yet people hold it and hold it and grab it and try to fix it and twist it and turn it.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I think every writer has got to direct. If you don't direct, you can't protect your work. The only way to ensure that it's going to be as close as possible to what you put down on paper - and what you see and hear in your head - is to do it yourself.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
Girl power in my mind is to let girls be exactly what they are. Let them be angry. Let them be resentful. And rebellious. Let them be hard and soft and loving and sad and silly. Let them be wrong. Let them be right. Let them be everything. because, they are everything.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
The whole world is out of time!
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I think I would be making a mistake to actively try and just do everything completely different from 'Gilmore Girls.
