"I used to say that I wanted..." - Quote by Amy Poehler

“It is time to leave. Oprah has spoken.”

“It seems a strange thing, but once I was able to get past that kind of self-image problem, I was able to open up in my comedy work and just go all out, take chances, and have fun with the performance aspect of that.”

“When you're betrayed there's a period of shame and then there's always forgiveness.”

“Without freedom there is no art.”

“In free society art is not a weapon...Artists are not engineers of the soul.”

“I think it is perfectly natural for any artist to admire intensely and love a young man. It is an incident in the life of almost every artist.”

“We all have great inner power. The power is self-faith. There's really an attitude to winning. You have to see yourself winning before you win. And you have to be hungry. You have to want to conquer.”

“A man whose desire is to be something separate from himself, to be a member of Parliament, or a successful grocer, or a prominent solicitor, or a judge, or something equally tedious, invariably succeeds in being what he wants to be. That is his punishment. Those who want a mask have to wear it.”

“Some people get in the way of change happening. Some people spend their whole careers thinking they can make a difference. Other people want to do as little as possible to get the day done.”
