Tina Fey Quotes

When choosing sexual partners, remember: Talent is not sexually transmittable Picture Quote #1

I still want Oprah to play my best friend. I want to spend time with Oprah Picture Quote #1

I think if you ask any of us here, we all dreamed of ending up on Saturday Night Live. I remember thinking, ‘I’ll just keep doing this as long as I can get away with it.’ Picture Quote #1

Yeah, it’s tough being smart and sexy, too. I have to say, I’m really not that attractive. Until I met my husband, I could not get a date. I promise you it’s true. My husband Jeff Richmond saw a diamond in the rough and took me in Picture Quote #1

I don’t enjoy any kind of danger or volatility. I don’t have that kind of ‘I love the bad guys’ thing. No, no thank you. I like nice people Picture Quote #1

Twitter seems like a busman’s holiday: just more writing. I have no plans to do it. I’ll just stick with my 24/7 webcam. I’m old-fashioned that way Picture Quote #1

When I was going to school in, like, 84 to 88, you didn’t have cell phones. There was no e-mail, if you can wrap your brain around that Picture Quote #1

After college, I knew I wanted to work in comedy, so the first thing I did was go to where the comedy was. I moved from Charlottesville to Chicago, because that’s where The Second City and Improv Olympics are. You have to go wherever you need to go to study what interests you Picture Quote #1

Even when I was at ‘SNL,’ I didn’t do impersonations. I always wanted to be the kind of person who could do them - I always thought they were the coolest thing on the show - but I didn’t have any experience Picture Quote #1

For my first show at ‘SNL’, I wrote a Bill Clinton sketch, and during our read-through, it wasn’t getting any laughs. This weight of embarrassment came over me, and I felt like I was sweating from my spine out. But I realized, ‘Okay, that happened, and I did not die.’ You’ve got to experience failure to understand that you can survive it Picture Quote #1

I really admire stand-up, and I think I would have loved to learn how to do it. I think it’s terrifying and thrilling. A really cool thing to do. It’s a dying art, in a way Picture Quote #1

I think my level of fame will drop back down. I think it’ll recede. In fact, I know it will. That’s life on Planet Earth. And I’m okay with that. Besides getting tables at restaurants and special treatment at the airport, what else is there? Picture Quote #1

I think part of picking where you live in New York is accepting who you are. Really looking at yourself and going, ‘Yeah, I’m not cool enough for the West Village.’ Picture Quote #1

If you’re an actor and you don’t get cast in stuff a lot, then put together a show or hold play-reading nights at your apartment. Make your own opportunities Picture Quote #1

My favorite day at 30 Rock’ is Thursday when the show airs. At lunch, we screen the episodes. For everyone to watch together, to see the stuff we all worked on, to hear the crew laugh - it’s great fun Picture Quote #1

Trying to be a leader in a sort of very atypical workplace like ‘Saturday Night Live’ forces you to realize that no one wants you to be their leader. If you can help them get their thing on TV or whatever, they want that. But no adult is looking for a role model Picture Quote #1

Instead of trying to fit an impossible ideal, I took a personal inventory of all my healthy body parts for which I am grateful: Straight Greek eyebrows. They start at the hairline at my temple and, left unchecked, will grow straight across my face and onto yours Picture Quote #1

This worked out perfectly for me in college, because what nineteen-year-old Virginia boy doesn’t want a wide-hipped, sarcastic Greek girl with short hair that’s permed on top? What’s that you say? None of them want that? You are correct Picture Quote #1

It will never be perfect, but perfect is overrated. Perfect is boring on live TV Picture Quote #1

You know who DOES have a funny bone in her body? Your Mom every night for a dollar! Picture Quote #1

This requires a level of delusion/egomania usually reserved for popes and drag queens Picture Quote #1

I felt like that character in Flowers for Algernon. Not Charlie, the lady teacher from the college who realizes, ‘I’ve got to stop dry-humping this mentally challenged guy! Picture Quote #1

Now let me be clear; millions of women around the world nurse their children beautifully for years without giving anybody else a hard time about it. Teat Nazis are a solely western upper-middle-class phenomenon occurring when highly ambitious women experience deprivation from outside modes of achievement Picture Quote #1

There’s a Drunk Midget in My House Ah, babies! They’re more than just adorable little creatures on whom you can blame your farts. Like most people who have had one baby, I am an expert on everythiing and will tell you, unsolicited, how to raise your kid! Picture Quote #1

Tracy: Stop eating people’s old french fries, little pigeon. Have some self-respect. Don’t you know you can fly? Picture Quote #1

In a study, scientists report that drinking beer can be good for the liver. I’m sorry, did I say ‘scientists’? I meant Irish people Picture Quote #1

I had to get back to work. NBC has me under contract. The baby and I only have a verbal agreement Picture Quote #1

This is what I tell young women who ask me for career advice. People are going to try to trick you. To make you feel that you are in competition with one another. You’re up for a promotion. If they go for a woman, it’ll be between you and Barbara. Don’t be fooled. You’re not in competition with other women. You’re in competition with everyone Picture Quote #1

An acting teacher once told me, ‘Greet everything with yes... Even if you abandon one idea for another one, saying yes allows you to move forward.’ Picture Quote #1
