Amy Poehler is an actress, writer, producer, mother and funny woman. With so many titles while taking Hollywood by storm, it’s no surprise that’s she’s got some seriously good advice. Just take a look at her book of essays and memoirs, Yes, Please, and her website for young girls, Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls. She’s smart, funny, and successful so why not listen to what she’s got to say? Below, I’ve compiled some of her best thoughts on life, love and much, much more. Check it out and let me know what you think in the comments section.
“I believe great people do things before they are ready.”
“Going from crying to laughing that fast and hard happens maybe five times in your life, and that extreme right turn is the reason why we are alive, and I believe it extends our life by many years.”
“Emotions are like passing storms, and you have to remind yourself that it won’t rain forever. You just have to sit down and watch it pour outside and then peek your head out when it looks dry.”
“A bossy woman is someone who cares and commits and is a natural leader.”
“However, if you do start crying in an argument and someone asks why, you can always say, ‘I’m just crying because of how wrong you are.'”
“Nobody looks crazy when they’re having fun.”
“People are their most beautiful when they are laughing, crying, dancing, playing, telling the truth, and being chased in a fun way.”
“Telling me to relax or smile when I’m angry is like bringing a birthday cake into an ape sanctuary. You’re just asking to get your nose and genitals bitten off.”
“It takes years as a woman to unlearn what you have been taught to be sorry for.”
