More quotes by Tina Fey
The only way I could get comfortable around people was to make them laugh.
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
I keep my eyes on the sea, waiting to be rocketed into it on a wave of fire. I'll be ready for it to happen and that way it won't happen. It's a burden, being able to control situations with my hyper-vigilance, but its my lot in life.
Tina Fey
I want to thank my parents for somehow raising me to have confidence that is disproportionate with my looks and abilities.
Tina Fey
Mary Tyler Moore was a working woman whose story lines were not always about dating and men. They were about work friendships and relationships, which is what I feel my adult life has mostly been about.
Tina Fey
It doesn't matter if it's a school play or a dumb TV show. It's your work. You should care about it so much that people get annoyed with you.
Tina Fey
[Television] is a great medium for writers, because there's just no time for a studio to interfere very long. You write it, you shoot it it's on TV.
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
In real life, people in the most dire situations must cope through humor.
Tina Fey
Being a mom has made me so tired. And so happy.
Tina Fey
For most women, the success of conservative women is good for all of us, unless you believe in evolution. Actually, I take it back. The whole thing is a disaster.
Tina Fey
Even when I was at 'SNL,' I didn't do impersonations. I always wanted to be the kind of person who could do them - I always thought they were the coolest thing on the show - but I didn't have any experience.
Tina Fey
This January, Kevin Costner will be honored by the Palm Springs International Film Festival for his contribution to film. This gives Costner just two months to make a contribution to film.
Tina Fey
I feel like there is a lot of inherent humor in the stress and insanity surrounding that process. People lose their minds, trying to prove their parental worth by getting their children into one of five colleges when there are thousands of good colleges across the United States - and elsewhere.
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
Confidence is 10 percent hard work and 90 percent delusion.
Tina Fey
The thing that always fascinated me about improv is that it's basically a happy accident that you think you're initiating.
Tina Fey
There are so many quiet times you spend as a mother that aren't glorified but are a foundation for your kids. No matter what, there was always a thick safety net under this trapeze.
Tina Fey
Ladies gotta say no to their husbands at the movies. They gotta say: No, we are watching back-to-back cancer movies. And then this movie about a cat.
Tina Fey
Researches reported that they developed a self-healing plastic that repairs itself if cracked. The plastic will change the way airplanes are built and medicine is practiced. In a related story, Joan Rivers will never die.
