Eye Feel Better Jumping

More From Amy Poehler

I moved to chicago in the early 1990s and i studied improvisation there. i learned some rules that i try to apply still today: listen. say yes. live in the moment. make sure you play with people who have your back. make big choices early and often. don't start a scene where two people are talking about jumping out of a plane. start the scene having already jumped. if you're scared, look into your partner's eyes — you will feel better.
Eye Feel Better Jumping
Tonight i walked around the pond scaring frogs; a couple of them jumped off, going, in effect, eek, and most grunted, and the pond was still. but one big frog, bright green like a poster-paint frog, didn't jump, so i waved my arm and stamped to scare it, and it jumped suddenly, and i jumped, and then everything in the pond jumped, and i laughed and laughed.

I'm a person of my own opinions, that's how i was raised. i speak what i feel... a lot of people feel the same way but they're scared to talk. they're really scared of the truth - they only want half of the truth. i've been living like that - forever in fear - but i know what to say and how to say it now. i ain't scared of myself. y'all may be scared; i'm not scared.
People Forever Half
Look me in the eye. it’s ok if you’re scared. so am i. but we are scared for different reasons. i am scared of what i won’t become. and you are scared of what i could become. look at me. i won’t let myself end where i started. i won’t let myself finish where i began. i know what is within me, even if you can’t see it yet. look me in the eyes. i have something more important than courage. i have patience. i will become what i know i am.

I've gone skydiving twice. i was terrified about doing it, but i wanted to overcome that. the first time, i did it with my parents and i remember that they had already both jumped out, and suddenly it was my turn. and i thought, 'well, i don't want to be an orphan,' so i guess i have no choice, and i jumped out of the plane.
Choices Parent Overcoming
I don't shy away from any questions. i'm not scared of any question. i'll give you an answer. a lot of people are scared of having actual opinions out there. people are so scared of criticism i'm not scared of people disliking me.

Juggling is very, very straightforward; very, very black and white; you're manipulating objects, not people. and that's always appealed to me.

We should treat each other better. why in the hell would you still have racism? this ancient, moronic hatred? why does our foreign policy have to always involve so much death and so much death of innocent people as a matter of course, to the point to where no one bothers to say anything. i guess a lot of people don't want to move forward. it's frustrating at times.
