I don't care if you like it

去年在看30 Rock 的同期也在看Arrested Development，但每次结束加班，却都还是会想着翻30 Rock来看，因为“虽然Arrested Development的剧情设置更用心，可看Jack 和Lemon的互动就很开心啊”。

所以我一直以来都觉得成功的sitcom不是剧本写得最好的那个，而是能够让观众爱上主演的。

（我真的对大部分Friends的剧情都记不清楚了，但这丝毫不妨碍我爱Rachel和钱钱。

因此今年伊始，为了拯救年后返工的不开心，我就自然而然的翻出了Tina Fey的这本自传。

首先讲个值回票价的笑话：

Two peanuts walking down the street, one was assaulted.

然后说回正题。

基本是轻松幽默的回忆了成长经历和直到30Rock以及在SNL上模仿佩林的时间段，大部分篇幅都话题轻松读来心情愉悦，偶尔聊一聊人生感悟，以及职业女性在喜剧圈的处境又一针见血的精辟。

前半本对于成长经历的回忆充满了已经释怀后的自嘲，读来除了有趣还是有趣。

儿时的伤疤，严厉的父亲，还是不那么受欢迎的少女时期，特别是大学期间的“撩男”经历（爬山那段笑到可能吓到了旁边的地铁小哥。

随手摘录一段：

What nineteen-year-old Virginia boy doesn’t want a wide-hipped, sarcastic Greek girl with short hair that’s permed on top?

What’s that you say?

None of them want that?

You are correct.

So I spent four years attempting to charm the uninterested. (It was probably good practice for my future career on a low-rated TV show.) I couldn’t figure out how to play it. I couldn’t compete with the sorority girls with their long blond ponytails and hoop earrings. I tried to find the white-boy-looking-to-rebel, but I wasn’t ethnic enough to be an exciting departure. I wasn’t Korean or African American or actually Mexican. I was just not all-the-way-white.

后半本开始聊在Second City开始做improv，去SNL做编剧和独挑大梁做30 Rock的经历，则多了几分严肃。

无论是从improv中衍生出的世界观

The rules of improvisation appealed to me not only as a way of creating comedy, but as a worldview. YES, AND means don’t be afraid to contribute. It’s your responsibility to contribute. Always make sure you’re adding something to the discussion. Your initiations are worthwhile. The next rule is MAKE STATEMENTS. This is a positive way of saying “Don’t ask questions all the time.” In other words: Whatever the problem, be part of the solution. THERE ARE NO MISTAKES, only opportunities.

还是SNL的经历中聊Amy的那章 I don't care if you like it

（同时期也在读lean in，都是对于女权主义的思考和表达，但Tina Fey的就不那么苦大仇深，却又更加powerful一些

With that exchange, a cosmic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn’t there to be cute. She wasn’t there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys’ scenes. She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it.

以及书的最后，回到了最开始的“女权主义”话题

It seems to me that the fastest remedy for this “Women Are Crazy” situation is for more women to become producers and hire diverse women of various ages. That is why I feel obligated to stay in the business and try hard to get to a place where I can create opportunities for others, and that’s why I can’t possibly take time off for a second baby, unless I do, in which case that is nobody’s business and I’ll never regret it for a moment unless it ruins my life.

嗨，教人如何不爱她。
