Tina Fey Quotes: The Actress' Best Life Lessons For Teens

She does a mean Sarah Palin impression, is BFFs with Amy Poehler and made "fetch" happen in real life.



We're talking about Tina Fey and yes, she is seriously cool. Not only is she an entertainment industry powerhouse (she wrote, produced and starred in "30 Rock"), but she also created "Mean Girls" -- which means she knows a thing or two about what it's like to be a teen.



See below for the "SNL" veteran-author-wonder woman's best life lessons and when in doubt, just ask yourself: What would Liz Lemon do?



1. Don't be afraid to let it all out.



“Some people say, 'Never let them see you cry.' I say, if you’re so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.” ["Bossypants"]

2. Sometimes, you're going to fail. And that's okay.



"Don't be too precious or attached to anything you write. Let things be malleable. For sketch writers, remember they're called sketches for a reason. They're not called oil paintings. Some of them are going to stink. You have to let them stink." [Esquire]
