Amy Sedaris

I love costumes. My dream growing up was always to have my own costume and prop shop.

David and Dad didn't get along too well growing up. I mean we all got along, but it was harder on David, because David wasn't going to be the son that Dad wanted. But now they're like best friends.

Usually I'm the one asking somebody to do something because I don't know how to finish it. I'm like, 'Do this for me' because I'm just resistant to learning.

Sometimes, to keep things exciting, I decorate my house as if I owned a child. I'll toss a tiny pair of shoes in the hallway or lean small wooden crutches in what I refer to as 'the baby's room,' which is actually a tiny space where I make things. I continue to call it the baby's room because it confuses people and it's creepy.

I'm not a first-place person.

I like working with the public, I like working with food, and I like making cash.

I can't imagine going to an all-girls school. I went to a public school.

I always knew I didn't want kids, and I didn't want to get married.

I'm drawn to people who look different. I'm not exploiting. I'm not making fun of them. I'm drawn to them.

I feel confident writing on my feet with improv, but it's different when you're sitting down and writing it out.

I'm not a good storyteller. I always think I'm going to get interrupted, or something's going to get edited. I think that comes from being in a large family, so you have to get your story in really quick or someone cuts you off.

I never really take shortcuts. I was always one of those people who, instead of cutting across someone's yard on the way home from school, I would go to the end of the block and turn.
