And personally I will say that Amy Poehler deserves about a thousand trophies and so one is a good start, and I'm hoping this is the first of a thousand. That's my personal hope.

The best shows are always the ones that are very, very low-concept and just about great characters.

If the doors aren't open, just kick them in and keep walking.

Sometimes you've got to just commit to the idea and press forward and trust that you made the right decision.

You can't just sit around in leopard-print slippers and drink champagne all day and think everything's gonna work out somehow.

Life reflects, life resounds, life echoes whatsoever you throw at life.

Be aware of your infinite connection to your source. Know that you're more than an encapsulated collection of bones, blood and organs in a skin and hair covered body.

The best lessons, the best sermons are those that are lived.
