Don't be too precious or attached to anything you write. let things be malleable. for sketch writers, remember they're called sketches for a reason. they're not called oil paintings. some of them are going to stink. you have to let them stink.

Writing Oil Painting

More From Tina Fey

There is no means of testing which decision is better, because there is no basis for comparison. we live everything as it comes, without warning, like an actor going on cold. and what can life be worth if the first rehearsal for life is life itself? that is why life is always like a sketch. no, "sketch" is not quite a word, because a sketch is an outline of something, the groundwork for a picture, whereas the sketch that is our life is a sketch for nothing, an outline with no picture.

Don't be too precious or attached to anything you write. let things be malleable.

It is conceivable at least that a late generation, such as we presumably are, has particular need of the sketch, in order not to be strangled to death by inherited conceptions which preclude new births.... the sketch has direction, but no ending; the sketch as reflection of a view of life that is no longer conclusive, or is not yet conclusive.

Controlled middle east oil, it would control the world. this oil represents 65 percent of world oil reserves. therefore, america believes if it squashed iraq, it would control the oil of the middle east and consequently hold the oil in its hands [and] fix its price the way it likes.

I basically don't think that the way we do things is that dependent on one resource, such as oil. there can be different kinds of engines for cars. i think that solar heating, wind heating can substitute for a lot of uses for oil. i'd like to see those things happen because they are more sustainable in any case. but i do not think that running out of oil is not going to bother us that much. i think we have got to be rescued by something or we really are going down a slippery slope.

I do not remember when i said this [oil production would collapse ], maybe in the heat of the moment, but i do not think i even said it, but i may just not remember it. i was saying that at a certain level of oil prices new deposits will not be explored. that is what is actually happening. however, surprisingly, our oil and gas workers [mainly oilmen] continue to invest.

I believe in privacy, i believe that people especially when it comes to private emails, personal emails, et cetera, i think people have a right to that privacy.
