When I had a job catering, I catered a wedding for the Smashing Pumpkins bassist in Indiana. And I served Billy Corgan shrimp off a tray. – Amy Poehler
I also think if youre an actor and you can improvise, when you go on an audition and you can improvise youre just a genius. If you can, you know, take a Tide commercial and you can just say one funny line thats not in the commercial they think youre a genius. – Amy Poehler
