People are their most beautiful when they are laughing, crying, dancing, playing, telling the truth, and being chased in a fun way.

Yes Please
By Amy Poehler

"Decide what your currency is early. Let go of what you will never have. People who do this are happier and sexier."
(p. 21)

"Improvisation and sketch comedy helped me find my currency. My plain face was a perfect canvas to be other people. There is nothing I like more than picking out wardrobe for a character. An SNL hairstylist once told me I had a great face for wigs. A Great Face for Wigs! What a compliment. (And also the title of my second book.) Looking silly can be very powerful. People who are committing and taking risks become the king and queen of my prom. People are their most beautiful when they are laughing, crying, dancing, playing, telling the truth, and being chased in a fun way."
(p. 21)
