More quotes by Tina Fey
Finally the world would see my full range of comedy characters - from grouchy librarian to Russian librarian.
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
It has been said that to write is to live forever. The man who said that is dead.
Tina Fey
I went through a phase where I was sick of acting, I didn't want to do it anymore, I was bored with it and then I tried directing a movie and I was like: Shoot, get back over there! It made me appreciate acting more.
Tina Fey
I was like, oh, I want to sign up for Catwoman, and then Anne Hathaway had already signed up for it.
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
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
(My proudest moment as a child was the time I beat my uncle Pierre at Scrabble with the seven-letter word FARTING.)
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
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
I'm still technically employed by the National Broadcasting Company.
Tina Fey
I was wearing my best Gap turtleneck and my dates were two adult lesbians, so yea, I was pretty cool.
Tina Fey
Sometimes if you have a difficult decisin to make, just stall until the answer presents itself.
Tina Fey
In my experience, the hardest thing about having someone come out to you is the pretending to be surprised part.
Tina Fey
I really love cursing a lot. But as I get older, I realize it's a little unseemly for women of a certain age.
Tina Fey
Somewhere around the fifth or seventh grade I figured out that I could ingratiate myself to people by making them laugh. Essentially, I was just trying to make them like me. But after a while it became part of my identity.
Tina Fey
Sometimes you want to have a very productive Saturday to feel that you are in control of your life, which of course you are not.
Tina Fey
You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.
Tina Fey
I don't like my feet. I'm not crazy about anybody's feet. But I have flat feet.
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
