Amy Poehler Quotes

If you ever want to see heaven, watch a bunch of young girls play. They are all sweat and skinned knees. Energy and open faces Picture Quote #1

Keep your virginity for as long as you can, until it starts to feel weird to you. Then just get it over with Picture Quote #1

Shame makes people abandon their children and drink themselves to death. It also keeps us from true happiness. An apology is a glorious release Picture Quote #1

Stop whining about getting old. It’s a privilege. A lot of people who are dead wish they were still alive Picture Quote #1

If you are lucky, there is a moment in your life when you have some say as to what your currency is going to be. I decided early on it was not going to be my looks Picture Quote #1

The process of divorce is about loading that blanket, throwing it up, watching it all spin, and worrying what stuff will break when it lands Picture Quote #1

You aren’t allowed to feel special, but no one knows the specific ways you are in pain Picture Quote #1

Watching great people do what you love is a good way to start learning how to do it yourself Picture Quote #1

As you navigate through the rest of your life, be open to collaboration. Other people and other people’s ideas are often better than your own. Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life Picture Quote #1

There’s only, like, five perfectly symmetrical people in the world, and they’re all movie stars, and they should be, because their faces are very pleasing to look at, but the rest of us are just a jangle of stuff, and the earlier you learn that you should focus on what you have and not obsess about what you don’t have, the happier you will be Picture Quote #1

We don’t want to be afraid to make a choice because we’re afraid to make a mistake because most decisions aren’t final. Feelings change all the time. You can always change your mind and taking risks and making choices is what makes life so exciting because we never know what’s going to happen. Every day something new comes our way Picture Quote #1

Girls have to fight against a lot of the same stuff we did growing up... peer pressure, exploitation, etc. But what worries me the most is this trend that caring about something isn’t cool. That it’s better to comment on something than to commit to it. That it’s so much cooler to be unmotivated and indifferent Picture Quote #1

Education is power, it changes your whole life, it can create a life for yourself. So the more educated you are, the more you learn about what you care about, you become a more caring person. And if you can speak about what you care about to a person you disagree with, without denigrating or insulting them, then you may actually be heard. And you may even change their mind, or they may change yours Picture Quote #1

To some people, not caring is supposed to be cool, commenting is more interesting than doing, and everything is judged and then disposed of in, like, five minutes. I’m not interested in those kinds of people. I like the person who commits and goes all in and takes big swings and then maybe fails or looks stupid; who jumps and falls down, rather than the person who points at the person who fell, and laughs. But I do sometimes laugh when people fall down Picture Quote #1

When you feel scared, hold someone’s hand and look into their eyes. And when you feel brave, do the same thing. You are all here because you are smart. And you are brave. And if you add kindness and the ability to change a tire, you almost make up the perfect person Picture Quote #1

Sleep can completely change your entire outlook on life. One good night’s sleep can help you realize that you shouldn’t break up with someone, or you are being too hard on your friend, or you actually will win the race or the game or get the job. Sleep helps you win at life Picture Quote #1

When you do talk about yourself, or to yourself... try to picture you talking to your own daughter, or your younger sister. Because you would tell your younger sister or your daughter that she is beautiful, and you wouldn’t be lying. Because she is. And so are you Picture Quote #1

I have to say I enjoy physical comedy and I’ve always loved to kind of take risks. I don’t like worrying too much about how I look or how I come across, so that can sometimes... You know, I like to play those kinds of deluded but fun characters Picture Quote #1

I think real life couples on screen are kind of deadly. For the most part, they’re kind of deadly. You’d be surprised. Unless they’re falling in love onscreen for the first time, you don’t have quite the same energy for some reason Picture Quote #1

Sometimes in my class I have people come in and do monologues inspired by people they know and I always find that to be useful to do specifics about somebody and then you’re actually doing a character and not doing some random old lady or something Picture Quote #1

If there’s one big thing you can take from Amy Poehler as a performer, it’s committing, full on Picture Quote #1
