Monday, May 18, 1970 - Tina Fey (comedy, writing, producing)

"I'm not a mean person, but I have a capacity for it. I have the biting comment formed somewhere in the back of my head - like it's in captivity. Sometimes people expect that I'm going to be tough. It's not a bad situation. People treat you better. People are on time."

"They get tired of hearing 'Melancholy Baby' and those mushy things but those are the songs that, as a singer, you love to sing."
