More From Tina Fey

All b.s. aside, it all comes down to... we got to survive. i mean, even warriors put their spears down on sundays. we got to survive here in this country... 'cause i'm not going back to africa. we got to survive here. and for us to survive here-white folks, black folks, korean folks, mexican folks, puerto ricans-we got to understand each other.

Failure's relative. i've always felt, even early on, if i lose the freedom to fail, something's not right about that. it's how you treat failure, too. there's something to learn from it. i've had movies that have failed colossally, so you kind of analyze your failures: what kind of failure was it? a failure because it's misunderstood by others? a failure because you misunderstood it yourself?
Misunderstood Kind Failing
The fittest survive. what is meant by the fittest? not the strongest; not the cleverest - weakness and stupidity everywhere survive. there is no way of determining fitness except in that a thing does survive. 'fitness,' then, is only another name for 'survival.' darwinism: that survivors survive.

Always Trying People Looks
For my first show at 'snl', i wrote a bill clinton sketch, and during our read-through, it wasn't getting any laughs. this weight of embarrassment came over me, and i felt like i was sweating from my spine out. but i realized, 'okay, that happened, and i did not die.' you've got to experience failure to understand that you can survive it.
Inspirational Laughing Bills
If you try to make interesting films, you're going to be disappointed most of the time. i choose just not to look at it that way. i don't look at american history x as a failure, or fight club as a failure, or 25th hour as a failure, or larry flynt as a failure, or any of the movies that i care about that i've made that were not immediately successful. i'll stand with those movies any day over 90 percent of the movies that came out at the same time that made a hundred million dollars
