But I always like to play ugly people who think they're pretty.
Amy Sedaris -
I swear I want to be a food model.
Amy Sedaris
-
I'm not ambitious.
Amy Sedaris -
I feel so free and open to ideas, and I get inspired by everything.
Amy Sedaris -
I just like to have the ideas. Other people can help see them through.
Amy Sedaris -
I love costumes. My dream growing up was always to have my own costume and prop shop.
Amy Sedaris -
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.
Amy Sedaris -
My characters always like themselves.
Amy Sedaris
-
I always find something to keep me busy.
Amy Sedaris -
I wouldn't call myself a shut-in. I have the ability to leave my home; I just choose not to. But because I'm such a homebody, it's important to be surrounded by things I love.
Amy Sedaris -
A lot of crafters, they're shut-ins.
Amy Sedaris -
People that know me know that I cook. I cook every night.
Amy Sedaris -
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.

But I love how people who are musical, they know how to dress.

I love theatrical props: a cup filled with solid fake tea, say, or a collection of fake food, including a rubber turkey, which, during the holidays, I wrap in tinfoil so it appears to have just come out of the oven.
Amy Sedaris -
I like crafts that are made out of necessity because they're a little naive - you made it because you needed it.
Amy Sedaris -
I'd rather have a part where you walk into a room and you leave. That's perfect for me.
Amy Sedaris -
I failed first grade, which is my biggest problem. You always feel like a failure, like you're stupid.
Amy Sedaris -
We're all used to seeing pretty people. I want to see real people.
Amy Sedaris -
People always think I'm Amy Poehler, which never bothers me. I mean, Amy Poehler is great.

-
My favorite things often have a story behind them and are usually handmade or discovered at a flea market.
Amy Sedaris -
If I know I have to memorize lines, I'm really gonna try to memorize lines. It's hard for me sometimes, because somebody wrote these words and you're trying really hard to get them the way they said it.
Amy Sedaris -
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.
Amy Sedaris -
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.
