Tina Fey

The difference between male comedy writers and female comedy writers is that the male ones are taller and weigh more.

I feel like it’s harder to get women to show up for movies.

I am constantly amazed by Tina Fey. And I am Tina Fey.

Confidence is 10% work and 90% delusion.

It was reported that the New York Knicks have won all 12 of the home games attended by magician David Blaine. A spokesman for the Knicks said, ‘if this is what it takes to win, it’s not worth it.’

I got a fan letter on the back of a prison menu. And I remember thinking, ‘Well, they get pie. It’s not so bad. They get pie on the weekends.’ I want to say blueberry and also a Boston cream pie. Not so bad.

I love artists who take risks-I think they inspire everybody else about horrible situations that no one wants to discuss.

If you are someone, you know, with fame, whatever amount, it’s good to be married to someone who’s not impressed with that at all.

Finding another way to do what I know I can do pretty well. A way that stimulates me. I’m always on some sort of learning curve. If I can continually be surprised then I’m alert.

In Los Angeles, they don’t want you to fail, they want you to die.

I’m really afraid of getting hit by cars, like terrified of it. I’m terrified of crossing streets. I’m also very accident-prone…I think people aim for me.

I also went to art school and learned to play a piano there, but I play by ear.

When I was really young, I loved the movie ‘White Christmas’ – I still do – and I thought Rosemary Clooney was so pretty. When I was, like, nine, I would tell people, ‘You know who I kind of look like? Rosemary Clooney.’

Really, life is life. You do a lot of different things and you have great adventures but there’s not a lot to talk about unless you’re in the middle of an adventure at the time. Circumspection is not one of my better, favorite conditions, really.

When Yale reached out, I thought it was a hoax, but they really followed through.

You’d be surprised how much fun you start to have once ya stop giving A f**k.

I think my level of fame will drop back down. I think it’ll recede. In fact, I know it will. That’s life on Planet Earth. And I’m okay with that. Besides getting tables at restaurants and special treatment at the airport, what else is there?

You can tell an honest artist from one who’s just given all their songs.

My advice to kids is give it your all! Give it 110% and don’t give up!

We all have a childhood dream that when there is love, everything goes like silk, but the reality is that marriage requires a lot of compromise.
