Amy Quotations

I produced six movies with Amy Robinson since the very early 80s.

As we got older, we grew comfortable in roles that met our parents' expectations. Nora was the smart one. Delia, the comedian. I was the pretty, obedient one. And Amy was the adventurous mischief-maker.

Even when I'm playing someone named 'Fat Amy.' I'm all about confidence and attitude.

When my children say, 'In the future, Mummy, will things get better or worse for humanity?' I say: 'Who knows, since Amy Winehouse died. It's all in the air now. Eat your broccoli.'

I love Amy Adams. She is wonderful. Evan Rachel Wood is a blast. I am also really excited about Ari Graynor from 'Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist' and 'American Crime.' I think it is an exciting time for young women in this industry. I am excited to make my own path.

But you know the thing that I thing oftentimes gets ignored and neglected is there was 10 or 12 years of life before I met Amy and before she met me, where you know, whatever happened was probably going to happen some day.

In the '80s, I can't say that Amy and I were aware of an independent film community. We could only get a certain amount of money for our pictures, which made them low budget movies, but they were distributed through studios.

When I shot 'Private Practice,' Amy Brenneman made a point of really befriending me before we started shooting.

I'm a huge fan of the program 'Democracy Now,' which is hosted by Amy Goodman, and I subscribe to the podcast.

People who take risks like Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones take a second to catch on, but eventually they do because they're different and honest in a musical landscape that's not always like that.

Amy Sedaris makes me laugh harder than anybody.

I have always loved Reese Witherspoon and Amy Adams as role models - I read all their interviews and agree with the fundamentals of how they manage the limelight and also how they look and carry themselves. A huge part of beauty is how you carry yourself and how you deal with certain situations.

Right from the start with music, I was like, 'I'm just going to do this, and I don't care about anything else. There are certain things you have to give up, even at 13, 14: your Friday and Saturday nights, having a regular girl, lots of things like that. I look at Amy Winehouse, and I think perhaps she just don't want to do it that much.

'At the Gates of the Animal Kingdom' by Amy Hempel showed me the lean quality of prose.

If you take my stuff apart, you'll find my choruses of repetitions are picked up almost verbatim from Kurt Vonnegut, and my distanced fracture quality is all from Amy Hempel, who's probably my favourite writer.

I didn't know Kurt Cobain or Amy Winehouse, but I was affected by both of their deaths because I admired their work so much and mourned their youth and work they would never produce.

I wanted it to be like Amy Grant, but it didn't pan out that way. My label actually went bankrupt, and I was left without a home.

No one could reach Amy Winehouse before it was too late. Can anyone reach Washington before it's too late? Both addicted - same fate?

Hotmail just picked up 12 new episodes of 'Judging Amy'.

Once a quarter, Amy and I go off the grid and totally disconnect. It's totally doable and it will change your life.

I have found that she is as kind and caring a person as she is hilarious. Simply put, Amy Poehler is my hero.

When I heard 'Back to Black' from Amy Winehouse, I was, like, 'Wow.' To hear such a soulful voice that feels like it's from a different era, I mean, it felt so fresh and unique, and that was something that opened my eyes and made me believe that it's not always about churning out the same thing in this industry.

My God! So sad to hear about Amy Winehouse! My deepest condolences to her friends and family and fans. You will be missed Amy xoxox

So many people: Lucille Ball is the earliest incarnation of a woman I thought was funny, Joan Rivers, Roseanne, Carol Burnett, Gilda Radnor, down to current times, where you have Amy Poehler, Tina Fey, and Kristen Wiig.

Somebody had to step up with Amy out and we had several kids step up.

I wouldn't have met my wife (Rose Lane) if it wasn't for him. He gave my daughter Amy a job in the '90s. He touched me personally. He had boundless energy and a deep, deep passion for music.

I have a love/hate relationship with Amy Grant, but I do go back to her Christmas albums once in a while. They're dated and sentimental and the production is nearly unlistenable, but there's something about her vocal performance that just feels really true. I would take her Christmas albums over Mariah Carey's or Destiny's Child's any day.

I can't say enough about what Amy has done for the team. She has brought a lot of new defensive concepts to the team. Last year was tough because we got away from our team defense concept. We're on the brink of getting back to where we were two years ago, in terms of playing as a defensive unit.

Francine made some very good sets and Amy got hot for us in the third game. We were much more consistent and cut out the errors.

If Amy was there in the last 200 meters we knew that would be bad for the competition.

What I'll always be grateful to Amy for is that she never tried to apply her own logic to the character. During her audition, it struck me that she was really teaching me about the movie.

I thought Amy had a great game. She came up with some big saves when she needed to, and she looked very poised back there.

I think Amy Poehler and Tina Fey have done so much for women in comedy in the sense that they've normalized it. You don't think, 'I'm going to watch that comedy starring a woman,' you think, 'I'm going to watch that funny show.' They refuse to play the foils for men, or be reduced to the butt of every joke, and I love that about both of them.

I want you to know that I have no compassion for you now. I hope the image of Amy haunts you forever,

Jen remains unbeaten on the season with a dominating win. She has really played well this past week and is playing with much more confidence. Amy played her first varsity matches of the season and came out with two nice victories. Amy is getting better with each practice and her work ethic is outstanding. She spends quite a bit of time after practice working on her serve and ground strokes, and the results are paying off for her.

Langley (Iverson) and Amy Scott have really done a great job.

I saw this cool interview with Amy Adams from when she did 'Enchanted' and played a princess, and when kids came up to her with no make-up and ripped jeans on, she said, 'I'm off duty. I'm an off-duty princess', and I thought that was quite sweet.

Our whole objective was not to let Amy hurt us because she's such a great player. So we devised something where we were always in position to double her if we had to. Of course, we did leave some people open.

Other than the 'Sesame Street' soundtrack, which I was obsessed with, the first artist I really felt I'd discovered on my own was Amy Winehouse. She was the first female artist I wanted to write like and sing like and be like.

Natasha (Anderson) pitched a heck of a game, and Amy (Hale) had a big home run for us. This win was big because Tennessee-Martin, Eastern Illinois and us are fighting for the fifth and sixth spots in the conference tournament, so coming away with the win today for us was a must.

I was very proud to be Mrs. Curtis Amy. My thing in life when I married Curtis Amy was being Mrs. Curtis Amy. Career was fine, but I was enthralled with being Curtis' wife. That was very important to me back then, and that's always important to a young lady from New Orleans. That's our upbringing: to be a wonderful wife and mother first.

We'll probably play both Amy and Libby for now. The doctors want to bring back Libby slowly.

We've been fortunate to have found some places. We're real gypsies. Amy works hard on her own and she's been able to keep up with her work on her own.

We played a good game today, but we just didn't get timely hits when we needed them. Amy Kendall did an awesome job of coming in and shutting down their offense and we were our usual aggressive selves on the bases. We played well, but it just didn't work out today.

Beyoncé and pathos are strangers. Amy Winehouse and pathos are flatmates, and you should see the kitchen.

The girls I grew up with they're living normal, adult lives. So they call me now and they're like, 'Amy, I'm pregnant.' And I still react like, 'What are you going to do? I'll drive you, I guess.

The kids didn't call me Amy Schumer; they called me Amy Jewmer. One summer, I'll never forget this, all the kids took turns throwing handfuls of pennies at me. I know, I was like, 'Excuse me - this is awesome!

It's a weird age. They're like, 'Amy, I'm pregnant.' And I still don't know whether to be like, 'Congratulations,' or 'Do you need a ride?

I need a costume to be convinced that I'm somebody else. Otherwise, it's just me. It's just Amy saying lines. I haven't really become somebody else. And what's the fun in that?

I felt stuck in the bottom of a wishing well. I was desperate to shout what I wanted, but I didn’t know what that was. I knew only what it wasn’t. The Hundred Secret Senses by Amy Tan

I just wanted to be myself and that's why I chose to do 'Big Brother,' because I wanted everyone to see the real Amy Childs.

We like to get five players in the match when we can, so we decided to give Amy a little break.

We were very lucky to inherit her, as well as Beth (Boskovich) and Amy (Harris).

We thought Amy could win. There was no more courageous person than Amy.

To score 2,000 points is not easy. But it was something I never really thought about when I was playing. When you work hard, points will come. Amy is a great player. She is very humble.

This team isn't about one or two people, it is about everybody. When one person goes down, as Amy did with foul trouble, other people have to step up and that is what happened tonight.

Both Whitney and Amy are what is neat about this team. They are not selfish. It is not all about scoring. It is just about doing whatever they can to get this team a win.

(Ben) was the only cast member who I had not seen in anything because I hadn't seen 'The O.C.,' ... All I saw was his audition for Johnny ... I'd seen Amy in plenty of stuff.

Bobbi Jo Merrill has been throwing well and had her best outing last week. Corie Jensen has put in some good innings, and Amy Sauer will be just fine. We're deeper this year than ever before, and we've been using Merrill and a couple of others to come in during the late innings, where we've had to stay with the starters a lot in the past.

They all ran pretty well, but Amy Meyer had a particularly good race. Having a full team pumped the girls up a bit and they ran well to a good showing.

I've actually been compared to every female singer going from Britney, Christina, Mariah, Duffy, Amy Winehouse, everyone. And they are so different, so I think it's cool that people see me as so many different artistes but I think I'm a little different, yeah.

Novak will come in and add depth and speed to our forward line. She has outstanding speed and the ability to eliminate defenders. She has good solid skills and knowledge of the game and is a great athlete with a relentless work ethic. Amy has tremendous passion and love for the game and will be a great fit for our program.

Cole Archer's Chillout Mix. That's my son's mix. He's ten weeks old, and this is what he listens to: 'Valerie' by Amy Winehouse, 'Everyday People' by Arrested Development, The Beatles' 'Rocky Raccoon,' and Bruce Springsteen's 'Atlantic City.'

Anybody who comes to that event, whether they make a wish or not, will receive a ticket to the Amy Grant concert. Even though it's a free concert, you need a ticket.

A new faculty member, Dr. Lynn Gregory, was hired to strengthen our new major in Public Communication housed in the Department of Community Development and Applied Economics. A new faculty member, Dr. Amy Trubek, was hired to strengthen our curriculum around sustainable food systems in the department of Nutrition and Food Sciences.

The bottom of the batting order really came through for us today and Amy Kendall did a great job on the mound. We need to do a better job with our short game and getting some bunts down.

A versatile player, Amy can play any position. She is quite athletic and good on the ball. She plays basketball, as well, so she is a strong all-around athlete. She is going to help us in many different ways.

This is sweet. Look at how excited they are. They pushed (assistant coach) Amy (Parsons) into the pool. They are probably coming after me next.

They focused on their game, not searching on the screens to see who's got what. Amy was totally relaxed all day. Patterson was like that too. For me, it was terrific sitting back watching this whole thing come together. It was a lot of fun. I was so proud. We were really thrilled.

It was a lot of hard work, but everyone loved my Amy Childs' Collection, so I decided to have a boutique as well as my salon. I love designing my own dresses, and everyone is loving the collection. I can't believe how well the boutique and the clothing online is going.

It's a dramatic change from where we were, and it will take some getting used to, ... A year ago, Amy was home and we saw each other all the time. Now it's weekends and cell phones.

It?s a real eye-opener. They are two great people who are a big part of our family. Amy does so much for us that no one even knows about. It?s important for us that we are there for support.

I tried to sing 'What's Going On' with Amy Winehouse once at an old cinema in the West End. There was a funk band that had members of both of our bands playing in it, but it was the worst kind of place to sing bad karaoke because everyone there was an amazing singer or musician.

I told them they were lucky and fortunate, and they should be grateful Ashley, Amy and Jamey stepped up big in the fourth quarter.

It marked just our second time on the field so far. Considering that we haven't had an opportunity to work outdoors, I'm not complaining about the way we looked. Amy pitched from behind more than I would like, but she did a solid job. We have work to do, but this is a nice start.

Davis did a great job. They've got great size and have great quickness in their guards. (Darts' coach) Amy (Wright) has done a great job over there. We're going to have to see them again and I'm not looking forward to that at all.

The next morning Amy came to my kitchen at 7 a.m., wearing her pajamas. She asked about the cookies, which she had promised her class.

The biggest difference was Alison scored 12 points, and she didn't score any the first game. We came to play. We had good games by Amy and Alex.

I told Amy she is the queen of my circle. She was amazing. When they had their best hitters up, she was at her best all day.

I want to be host of 'SNL.' I want to work with Steven Spielberg, Leonardo DiCaprio, J.J. Abrams, Emma Stone and Tim Burton, Sean Penn, Cameron Crowe. I want to work with Adam Sandler - he is so funny - and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

They were there for Renee 24/7. I could not believe everyone who came by to help. People like Amy Kessler and many others. I was talking Earl Thom about it, and do you know what he said? He said of course they wanted to be there, they loved Renee and they are Hazel Parkers.

At the end of the game, we wanted it in her hands on the free-throw line. It's just smart basketball. We're a veteran club and Amy knows just to go right to Tiffany. We have to play smart basketball at this time.

I'm more influenced by characters than standups. I love strong, comic women because it's so hard, and I have so much respect for anyone who can do it. I'm a big fan of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler and people like that.

I'm proud of Amy and the job that she did while Kat was away. I'm proud of the team and the results that we got while they were away, but there's no question that we are better with them than without.

I'm hoping it doesn't come down to that, but if that happens, I'll take that. Hockey is a game where a goalie that is feeling it can change the outcome of a game. Amy has that kind of talent.

I had an audition for Mary Jane Watson in 'Spiderman' and ended up playing Betty Brant in that series. I auditioned for Amy Adams' role in 'Catch Me If You Can' and, you know, ended up playing the bank teller. So there were a lot of times early on where I felt like I was always sort of the bridesmaid, never the bride - never quite right.

I remember seeing Amy Sedaris in a stint where she played somebody's alcoholic mother in one scene and in the next she was Ross Perot. I remember thinking she was so awesome.

I read a lot of books about psychopaths. I read a wonderful book Amy Hempel gave me about the guy who created criminal profiling - a fascinating book, 'Mind Hunter.'

His goal is to take it four years in a row. No boy has ever done that, and the only girl to do it is Amy Atkins (Nevada Union graduate). If he can stay up, he can do it.

It's a diabolical business. I can't imagine how hellish it must be to be hounded like Amy Winehouse and people like that. I have a little peripheral place on the outskirts of celebrity, when I go to premieres and that sort of stuff, which is as close as I want to get.

I always just wanted to be a movie actress, like Lily Tomlin or Ruth Gordon. I just imagined myself being in a movie, wearing stylish women's clothing the way I saw Amy Irving wearing it.

Everyone has a moment when they discover they love Amy Poehler.

I've always idolized Amy Poehler, because I think she's the best of the best as far as female comedy.

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.

I must admit, the only reason I joined an amateur dramatic society is because I couldn't get to kiss any girls - I was chasing girls all the time - and so I thought if I join it, there might be some love scenes. And there was a particular girl and I thought I might get to kiss Amy. I never did get to kiss Amy but I did get to kiss Elizabeth Taylor, so it was all right, a lot later.

RIP Amy Winehouse. We lost a true heroin addict today.

Amy: This time can we... lose the bunk beds? The Doctor: No Bunk beds are cool, a bed with a ladder, you can't beat that!

Amy Pond is, er...I've sort of fallen in love with Amy Pond.

You can really see the relationship between the two sports (volleyball and tennis) in the way Amy hits the ball. She's pretty powerful.

And she lets me know (about being second best), too. Amy can do it all, pretty much. About the only thing I have her on is golf ... and punting.
