More quotes by Amy Sherman-Palladino
As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.
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
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.

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
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
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 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
You've gotta have a path [in your life]. And then, within that path, you have to be flexible. When things aren't working, you've gotta cut bait and find something else, but if you don't have a path, you're just dead.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
The way television works is that directors come in and out, and they're not there all the time, following every character through every scene. They're vagabonds who go from one show to another.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
To me, crazy is not someone who has a creative vision and will fight for it.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
Life doesn't tend to fix things or wrap them up in bows.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
People have nannies and big cars, and they want to go to Maui for Christmas. When there are those kind of stakes involved, people get ruthless.
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.
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
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.

The whole world is out of time!
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
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 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.
