Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000052100
I try to pick music for a diner that doesnt involve a lot of lyrics, so you're not paying attention to that. As long as it doesnt dominate the party, it should be more atmosphere music. When I'm by myself, I never play music. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000116074
I have a lot of fake food in my apartment, but I'm picky about it. Old plaster food, like from the '50s is really nice, hollowed out paper-mache food from old plays - the new stuff just looks too good. -- Amy Sedaris

Imagination! My problem is that I have so many ideas, I never have enough time to use them all. Just the other day I thought up eleven things I could do with a flowerpot. Eleven! Three of those things didn't even involve plants. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000299560
I think it's good for a person to spend time alone. It gives them an opportunity to discover who they are and to figure out why they are always alone. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000329367
That's how all theater should be done - you only have one chance to see it and then it's gone. One night only. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000353410
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
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000353466
I love old cookbooks. I just got such a kick out of them, how the color would be way off or fake looking. The cook books now look so much like magazines, you'll never make food that looks like that. I'd rather see it the ugly way than they way they do it now. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000374578

Don't answer the door in a wedding dress and veil, he might not think you're joking. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000399021
That's why I love improvisational theater so much - you do it [scene] once and then it's done. You don't get bogged down with a lot of preplanning and repetition. If I do something and it gets a laugh, I don't want to do it again. Why bother? I'm just repeating myself. It's boring. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000410539
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
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000412440

Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000453276
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
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000457697
Sometimes it's just enough for me to have the idea. I don't need to see it through to the end. When it actually happens, I'm always disappointed because it's never like what I imagined in my head. When an idea becomes a reality, then it's a job. I'd rather just think about it. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000464810

Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000470745
When I meet a new person, something has to be a little off for me to consider them beautiful. It could be crooked teeth, or veins in their skin that are a little too visible, or a really dramatic lazy eye. The first guy I ever kissed had a water head. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000477623
I hate playing pretty or sane people. Most people are not attractive or all there. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000496826
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. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000503494

Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000533750
I like to just make things ... If I have the TV on, I'm not just going to sit there. I want to do something with my hands; I've always got a project. Or I get a small group of people over, and I say, 'Let's make these things today.' -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000535504
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. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000573601
I don't mind pointing out some of the failings of old age, because we are all headed in that direction, unless of course we take our own lives before we become a burden. I'm not advocating suicide, oh wait, I guess I am. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000585713

Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000592992
I like it when people who aren't so attractive, or they have a whole lot of hurdles to get over, I like it when they dress up and they look presentable. That, to me, just touches me. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000592993
There's humor in everything. There's gotta be humor in everything. -- Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000592994

Amy Sedaris Quotes : pic 000593018
