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. ”

I never really take shortcuts. I was always one of those people who, instead of cutting across someone's yard on the way home from school, I would go to the end of the block and turn. ”

I like to entertain in all aspects. When you're with somebody and you're out, you want to be entertained. I like to be around entertaining people. Even if they're bored, and you're in a convalescent home, there's something entertaining about that, in a way. ”

I feel so free and open to ideas, and I get inspired by everything. ”

I like crafts that are made out of necessity because they're a little naive - you made it because you needed it. ”

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 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. ”

I'd rather have a part where you walk into a room and you leave. That's perfect for me. ”

I just like to have the ideas. Other people can help see them through. ”
