Amy Sedaris
I have always wanted a bunny and I'll always have a rabbit the rest of my life.Collection: Easter
My mom used to say that Greek Easter was later because then you get stuff cheaper.Collection: Easter
I like to decide the night before Thanksgiving that I'm gonna do it, and I'll see what riff raff is around. Then I get that last-minute surge of energy. But if I had two weeks to plan, sometimes I wish I wasn't doing it. But very seldom does that happen.Collection: Thanksgiving
There's humor in everything. There's gotta be humor in everything.Collection: Humor
My father and I have a very good relationship. We always got along. But I always scold him.Collection: Dad
I failed first grade, which is my biggest problem. You always feel like a failure, like you're stupid.Collection: Failure
People who shop in health food stores never look healthy.Collection: Diet
I like crafts that come out of poverty or necessity. There used to be hobby shops where you'd get your supplies, and then you'd use your imagination.Collection: Imagination
Books are challenging and inspirational to me.Collection: Inspirational
My favorite things often have a story behind them and are usually handmade or discovered at a flea market.
I always find something to keep me busy.
People always think I'm Amy Poehler, which never bothers me. I mean, Amy Poehler is great.
I always knew I didn't want kids, and I didn't want to get married.
I'm very domestic; I love cleaning. I love cooking. I like waiting on people. I just like to make things. I don't break that down to be weakness, or the only things women can do, or putting me back 20 years.
I'd just much rather see an ugly person take the trash out than see somebody really pretty taking the trash out.
I hate playing pretty or sane people. Most people are not attractive or all there.
You know when you watch old movies, it's always the small parts you remember, the character actors who come in like a breath of fresh air.
It was more of their quirky show. It was more like a cult show. The ratings weren't really that high.
I'm not a first-place person.
I like people who would rather something be discovered than shoved in your face.
I live in the moment.
I'd rather have a part where you walk into a room and you leave. That's perfect for me.
I'm not ambitious.
I really don't like going out. I don't like restaurants because I don't like the idea of someone, a waitress, being responsible for my evening. I like seconds, and more, and lots of conversation, and I've always hated the idea that in a restaurant an evening just ends. I find that incredibly depressing.
I choose to do unattractive people, because then I can pretend they think they're attractive.
They just expected it to you know... Paul, Steve and I could have hired our own publicist, if we wanted to, but I kind of liked the way it was more of a cult thing and those that liked it, liked it, you know what I mean?
My kitchen's pink, like skin-tone pink, and I lowered my spice rack so it's eye level - it's true! - and my phone, so I can reach it when I fall, it's right there.
I like to make things, but I looked at old craft books on weaving or mosaics or whatever, I'm like, 'I don't really know anything about that stuff.'
If I put my mind to something, it happens. I do know that's not necessarily psychic. But I always feel like there's something around me protecting me.
Well I went to New Orleans to cover the jazz festival for Trio, it's this new arts channel, it's really great.
But I always like to play ugly people who think they're pretty.
David and Dad didn't get along too well growing up. I mean we all got along, but it was harder on David, because David wasn't going to be the son that Dad wanted. But now they're like best friends.
I just like to have the ideas. Other people can help see them through.
My characters always like themselves.
I have no desire to carry a movie.
Whenever I do your show, sometimes I get a little check in the mail and then I take that check and buy a new pair of shoes, and then I wear those shoes the next time I do your show.
I swear I want to be a food model.
I'm gonna do the whole bedroom in camel color - it's an old lady color.
But I love how people who are musical, they know how to dress.
I stayed in New York City for the first time, I'd always wanted to do that.
More men than women like 'Strangers With Candy'. Pretty girls don't like the show. They don't like to see an ugly lady.
I think it's still kind of weird to memorize a line, because you're supposed to 'be' this person, you know? So then its like, if I'm really this person, how can I be in the moment if I know there's just one line I'm supposed to say? It doesn't feel natural. I always just kind of want to say whatever comes up.
I'm not a good storyteller. I always think I'm going to get interrupted, or something's going to get edited. I think that comes from being in a large family, so you have to get your story in really quick or someone cuts you off.
Gay guys know how to craft, and they craft really well. Straight guys, forget it.
I love costumes. My dream growing up was always to have my own costume and prop shop.
When people tell me they are going to go scrapbooking, I say, 'Why don't you make it yourself.' It's like chocolate-chip cookies. People buy the cookie-dough roll and slice it, and then they lay it on a cookie sheet. That's not making chocolate-chip cookies.
You think in a different way when you don't have any money. The joy of poverty is that you use your imagination to come up with stuff.
I like crafts that are made out of necessity because they're a little naive - you made it because you needed it.
I feel so free and open to ideas, and I get inspired by everything.
I like working with the public, and I like that it's really hard work.
