I think Tina Fey is the DDOCS poster girl. She’s smart, funny, and interesting--exactly the kind of person who makes your “famous people I’d like to have over to dinner” list. Plus, of all the public figures out there, no one speaks more common sense than Fey, who is the creator, writer and producer of the genius 30 Rock.
Here are some of her recent gems:
On being the ‘thinking man’’s sex symbol:
“What I’ve come to realize is that when people say, ‘The thinking man’s whatever’ — there’s no such thing. The thinking man also wants to fuck Megan Fox.”
Normal Girls:
“I feel like I represent normalcy in some way. What are your choices today in entertainment? People either represent youth, power, or sexuality. And then there’s me, carrying normalcy.” Pause. “Me and Rachel Ray.”
The Skinny:
“People will say, ‘Oh, fashion magazines are so bad, they’re giving girls a negative message’--but we’re also the fattest country in the world, so it’s not like we’re all looking at fashion magazines and not eating. Maybe it just starts a shame cycle: I’m never going to look like that model, so… Chicken McNuggets it is! And conversely, I don’t look at models who are crazy skinny and think I want to look like that, because a lot of them are gigantic, with giant hands and giant feet.”
On fame:
“I think my level of fame will drop back down. I think it’ll recede. In fact, I know it will. That’s life on planet earth. And I’m okay with that. Besides getting tables at restaurants and special treatment at the airport, what else is there?”
