More quotes by Amy Sherman-Palladino

Dance was always part of my life because I was a dancer and my mother was a dancer, and I love the theater.

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
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.

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.

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
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.

As a writer, all you want to do is write for great actors. That's all.

TV is all about speed. TV is fast and furious. It's gunslinger territory.
Amy Sherman-Palladino
I don't believe in crowd funders. I don't believe the fans should be paying for their own things.
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.

Well, I took ballet for many, many years, so my whole childhood really revolved around dance class. I grew up around dance my mother was a dancer.

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 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
With a sitcom, everyday you do a run through, and people are judging you, and the scripts are being changed nightly, nightly, nightly.
