More quotes by Tina Fey
Every morning, when Alaskans wake up, one of the first things they do, is look outside to see if there are any Russians hanging around. And if there are, you gotta go up to them and ask, 'What are you doing here?' and if they can't give you a good reason, it's our responsibility to say, you know, 'Shoo! Get back over there!'
Tina Fey
It's hard to get laughs when you're new.
Tina Fey
It is less dangerous to draw a cartoon of Allah French-kissing Uncle Sam — which, let me make it very clear, I have not done — than it is to speak honestly about [working moms].
Tina Fey
My problem with the traditional acting method was that I never understood what you were supposed to be thinking about when you're onstage.
Tina Fey
Instead of trying to fit an impossible ideal, I took a personal inventory of all my healthy body parts for which I am grateful: Straight Greek eyebrows. They start at the hairline at my temple and, left unchecked, will grow straight across my face and onto yours.
Tina Fey
Pentagon records show that at least 8,000 members of the all-volunteer U.S. Army have deserted since the Iraq war began. Hey, at least somebody has an exit strategy.
Tina Fey
After college, I knew I wanted to work in comedy, so the first thing I did was go to where the comedy was. I moved from Charlottesville to Chicago, because that's where The Second City and Improv Olympics are. You have to go wherever you need to go to study what interests you.
Tina Fey
...nothing is creepier than a bunch of adults being very quiet.
Tina Fey
When you go into something where you can really trust that everyone has thought about it, more than you have even, then that's like a gift.
Tina Fey
I am extremely square and obedient in nature!
Tina Fey
Ah, babies! They’re more than just adorable little creatures on whom you can blame your farts.
Tina Fey
30 Rock is a little different from other current sitcoms, in that it's fast-paced, but the pace comes from the actors, not the editing.
Tina Fey
I feel about Photoshop the way some people feel about abortion. It is appalling and a tragic reflection on the moral decay of our society…unless I need it, in which case, everybody be cool.
Tina Fey
If you ever start to feel good about yourself... .... they have this thing called the internet.
Tina Fey
I have no affinity for animals. I don’t hate animals and I would never hurt an animal I just don’t actively care about them. When a coworker shows me cute pictures of her dog, I struggle to respond correctly, like an autistic person who has been taught to recognize human emotions from flash cards. In short, I am the worst.
Tina Fey
In real life, people in the most dire situations must cope through humor.
Tina Fey
Finally the world would see my full range of comedy characters - from grouchy librarian to Russian librarian.
Tina Fey
I'm not that good looking... nobody is that good looking. I have seen a lot of movie stars, and maybe four are amazing looking. The rest have a team of gay guys who make it happen.
Tina Fey
When hiring, mix Harvard Nerds with Chicago Improvisers and stir.
Tina Fey
Seriously, I've just realized that almost everyone is a fraud, so I try not to feel too bad about it.
