I never get to go to movies, because I'm a mom.
Tina Fey

Politics and prostitution have to be the only jobs where inexperience is considered a virtue. In what other profession would you brag about not knowing stuff? “I’m not one of those fancy Harvard heart surgeons. I’m just an unlicensed plumber with a dream and I’d like to cut your chest open.” The crowd cheers.

I want every day to be the most boring news day ever. I want every day to be about spelling bee champions and baby basketball. It's better to have no comedy material than a horrific news day.

I became immersed in the cult of improvisation. I was like one of those athletes trying to get into the Olympics. It was all about blind focus. I was so sure that I was doing exactly what I'd been put on this earth to do, and I would have done anything to make it onto that stage.

Don’t waste your energy trying to educate or change opinions go over, under, through, and opinions will change organically when you’re the boss. Or they won’t. Who cares? Do your thing, and don’t care if they like it.

If everyone had a dad like mine, no one would have sex tapes.
Tina Fey
Image
We are a society that constantly celebrates no one but women and it must stop! I want to hear what the men of the world have been up to. What fun new guns have they invented? What are they raping these days? What’s Michael Bay’s next film going to be?

A new poll showed that 66% of Americans think President Bush is doing a poor job handling the war in Iraq and the remaining 34% think that Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church.

When hiring, mix Harvard Nerds with Chicago Improvisers and stir.

Quentin Tarantino is here, star of all my sexual nightmares.

It will never be perfect, but perfect is overrated. Perfect is boring on live TV.
Tina Fey

In real life, people in the most dire situations must cope through humor.
Tina Fey
Image
When I turned 50, I looked in the mirror and I thought: Hey, this isn't the dress rehearsal, this is life and I don't know how much longer I'm going to have!

Confidence is 10 percent hard work and 90 percent delusion.
Tina Fey
Image
If a bout of creepy face sets in, the trick is to look away from the camera between shots and turn back only when necessary. This also limits how much of your soul the camera can steal.

One of the great things about doing animated movies is that you don't have to dress up or put on make-up.

You’re in competition with everyone.

You can’t be that kid standing at the top of the waterslide, overthinking it. You have to go down the chute.
