I got a fan letter on the back of a prison menu. And I remember thinking, 'Well, they get pie. It's not so bad. They get pie on the weekends.' I want to say blueberry and also a Boston cream pie. Not so bad.
Tina FeyYou mostly know that you want to be funny, know that you have the desire. It's not like people who grow up beautiful and can look in the mirror and be like, I'm beautiful! Funny is more of a journey. And a desperate attempt.
Tina FeyIn my limited experience, shows are like children. You can teach them manners and dress them in little sailor suits, but in the end, they're going to be who they're going to be.
Tina Feythere was an assumption that I was personally attacking Sarah Palin by impersonating her on TV. No one ever said it was 'mean' when Chevy Chase played Gerald Ford falling down all the time. No one ever accused Dana Carvey or Darrell Hammond or Dan Aykroyd of 'going too far' in their political impressions. You see what I'm getting at here. I am not mean and Mrs. Palin is not fragile. To imply otherwise is a disservice to us both.
Tina FeyI was taken to an examining room where a big butch nurse practitioner came in and asked me if I was pregnant. โNo way!โ Was I sexually active? โNope!โ Had I ever been molested? โWell,โ I said, trying to make a joke, โOprah says the only answers to that question are โYesโ and โI donโt remember.โ โ I laughed. We were having fun. The nurse looked at me, concerned/annoyed.
