Is being an idiot like being high all the time?

Here's what the right-wing has in, there's no shortage of the natural resources of ignorance, apathy, hate, fear. As long as those things are in the collective conscious and unconscious, the Republicans will have some votes.

Tina Fey is part of a generation of women who have changed the face of comedy at 'Second City,' 'SNL,' in sitcoms and in film.

If you aren't overly effusive or really nicey-nice with the press, you get a reputation for being outspoken or difficult.

I absolutely realize that a celebrity spokesperson is not ideal.

I do not enjoy when people don't like me.

I've seen other comics, with great pleasure, watching their own specials, and I don't know how or why they do it.

I don't think Hollywood was trying to do anything with me. In fact, they lost interest pretty quick. I think I got lucky, briefly, in the '90s, and it just so happened that those movies were the opportunities that came my way. Then it just kind of stopped.

You just need an opportunity and then you yourself have to do a good job, and then you hope that people go, 'Oh yeah, I forgot about her.'

When Communist U.S.S.R. was a superpower, the world was better off. The right-wing media is trying to marginalize the peace movement.

I would say just in general, in life, I'm more willing to be animated as a person, and so obviously onstage as well.

I'm a walker. I enjoy walking, which I think psychologically expresses my feelings of wanting liberation without exerting myself too much.

I would prefer to be well-liked in any and all situations.

It's been hard in entertainment as a 45-year-old woman to find jobs. They get fewer and far between if you're older, unless you're one of the few lucky ones who work constantly, like Meryl Streep.

I remember the old Times Square from when I was younger, and there was a seedy thrill to it. Some of that is gone, which I have a little bit of nostalgia for.

I say at this point, for different reasons, Bush and Hussein are both very threatening to world peace and to deny that is to be incredibly naive.

I don't understand why, in entertainment, the hours are as long as they are. It seems like everything takes forever, and no one can tell you why exactly.

For my stand-up, I always have my notebook with me and if something strikes me, I'll write it down.

I mostly get takeout, I have to admit - I don't know if that's something to be ashamed of. I'm not much of a cook.

I am not a person that is particularly tethered to fashion, which I think is obvious to anyone who's seen me.

I guess intractable right-wing ideologues are my mortal enemy.

I actually was class clown, but I don't know how that happened because I've never been considered an outwardly funny person.

You can't have cinema by committee if you're trying to do it well.

Nobody ever starts out to make a mediocre, commercial film. You always think it's going to be something. And then, once you're done with your shooting, you have no control. You're just done, as an actor.

I can do most anything and not have a problem with it. The only time I have negative attention is when I run naked through the streets brandishing a handgun.

You know, I've had Botox. The woman who does it is very good, obviously. Very conservative.

I don't think Hollywood was trying to do anything with me. In fact, they lost interest pretty quick.

I'm grateful for any opportunity to act.

I would have to say loneliness is next to uncleanliness.

Also, as I've gotten older and more mature, I've become much more comfortable in my own skin. After 25 years of doing stand-up, that's reflected onstage.

I have yet to meet very many people in the press who are really, truly interested in writing a good story or getting at the truth. Most press people, when they come into an article, have an angle that they want already, so they need points to support that angle, whatever the angle may be.
