Tina Fey

I don’t like my feet. I’m not crazy about anybody’s feet. But I have flat feet.

I think people fetishize glasses in general. You could put glasses on a rotting pumpkin and people would think it was sexy.

Being a mom has made me so tired. And so happy.

The idea of being in control for the sake of control is not really important to me. If everyone is sharp and doing what they’re doing well, you don’t really need to be in control all the time.

When choosing sexual partners, remember: talent is not sexually transmittable.

Someone once said that to make a regular person laugh, you need to dress a guy up like an old lady and push him down the stairs. To make a comedy writer laugh, you have to push a real old lady down the stairs. I don’t know who that’s attributed to. I think it’s Aristophanes. Or Catherine the Great.

I like to audition for good projects because if it’s a good project, it’s an opportunity to get in front of a casting director.

I’ve got a terrible memory – I end up repeating myself quite a lot. The only thing I can remember is that I’m going to repeat myself!

When it’s your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before.

I see myself more as a character actress than a celebrity!

I like to crack the jokes now and again, but it’s only because I struggle with math.

At the end of the day, I just do my job. I love my art. But I genuinely want to change the world. I’m very generous, and I really want people to see that I am – that’s really it.

Cricket is basically baseball on valium.

I hope we left you with something to put under your pillow.

The stuff I find attractive in women I always regret finding attractive. I always like a kind of madness in a woman… I like it when they hate me right from the beginning.

If you have paparazzi, you know you’ve gotten somewhere.

The joy we get as actors is out of transforming ourselves into something that’s not necessarily anything true to ourselves. And it’s a power – not being yourself, and being in the role; it’s just like another prop.

I don’t take myself that seriously. I’ve just had a good, big life. It’s a big one.

Of course, chicks keep popping up. When you’re in a hotel, a pretty young lady makes life bearable.

I’d love to do a musical, either in film or on stage.
