- Always say yes to opportunities. Please. Because everyone helps you get there.
- The little voice in me that always said you ll be on the other side of the glass. That someday I will be doing everything I’ve desired. If I want in, I ll get in
- That voice that talks badly to you is a demon voice
- At SNL, time pressure let’s us do things without overthinking
- A lifetime of lasting friendships, boundless curiosity, a love of learning and a future that is shining and bright – the true essence of living
- Shame is a signal – it can paralyze or motivate
- When you falter and still hold your ground – Look at this beauty. What an act of grace
- Forget the facts. Remember the feelings
- Talk to yourself like you are 90
- The moment people stop looking at you less is when you start being able to see through people more. You get better at understanding what people mean and how it can be different from what they say (old age)
- Gone are the days when u take everything personally and internalize everyone’s behavior
- Get better at knowing what you want and need
- Learnt from older women who guide me – I drink from their life well
- Life is crunchy and complicated and all the more delicious
- Don’t miss the frustration of youth, the anticipation of love and pain and the paralysis of choices still ahead. The pressure of what are you going to do
- Fall, and figure out what you want to do on your way down
- It is easier to be brave when you’re not alone.
- I didn’t have to wait to be cast. I can give myself that role
- I was thrilled! I loved being a troublemaker. I loved the attention. I loved acting cool and calm about being handcuffed to my best friend. We became instant celebrities. Told her how everything is going to be okay. My instincts to bring levity and calm to stressful situations.
- Always ask for what you want
- Find a man who is proud of you
- Ambivalence is key to success. I think about if everything went away tomorrow, would we still have a trade or a skill to depend on. You have to care about your work, but not about the result. Care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are or how good people think you look. You ll never climb career mountain and get to the top and shout “I made it!”. You ll rarely feel done or complete or even successful. Most people that I know feel slided on one hand or a total fraud on the other. My ego is just as rude, or angry or hungry as everyone else’s.
- Your career likes you when you don’t depend on it. It will reward you every time you act like you don’t need it. If your career is a bad boyfriend, remember that you can always leave and go see somebody else.
- My personality is my currency
- Everybody wants to hear your most embarrassing story and I’m hear to tell you that you DONT have to. Say NO
- Hard work doesn’t always matter – if he lets on to show how badly he wants it, they will try to snatch it from you. Pretending to never want something works. Really not caring if you get it or not takes a lifetime of work – healthy detachment (Buddhism)
- No one wants to be a cat scratching the door when it won’t open
- Everybody is scared most of the time
