Quote by Amy Sedaris

“I always liked my teachers, and I was in a lot of after-school projects. I was a Girl Scout until my senior year, when I couldn't be a Girl Scout anymore. I was in clubs like Junior Achievement, and I ran track and field. My grades were good, but then toward 11th grade they were nothing. I always went to summer school.”

“Sometimes, to keep things exciting, I decorate my house as if I owned a child.

I continue to call it the baby's room because it confuses people and it's creepy.”
