Saoirse Ronan I love a lot of comedy actors and actresses like Kristen Wiig and Tina Fey and all those women who are really brilliant and funny. – Saoirse Ronan
Rob Sheffield Anyone watching ’30 Rock’ always knew Tina Fey was playing a fictionalized version of herself, a workaholic comedy writer who also plays one on TV. She’s the boss; Liz Lemon just works here. – Rob Sheffield

Ellen DeGeneres, and then on ‘Saturday Night Live,’ the era of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler sort of helped to bring in an awareness of a new generation of women comedians, often women who were feminist in their comedy, who were unafraid – and this came from the genre of show that was emerging. – Rebecca Traister
Phoebe Fox I love the way Tina Fey and Amy Poehler made the first-ever feminist Golden Globes. – Phoebe Fox
Padgett Powell All this is rather pretentious and fey to even talk about, but Flannery O’Connor sat down to write stories. The rest of us, some of us, don’t have that kind of wit and genius. We don’t do that. We sit down and have some accidents. – Padgett Powell
Nina Dobrev I’d love to hear what confident, intelligent women in the industry have to say: Rachel McAdams, Carey Mulligan, Angelina Jolie, Kristen Wiig and Tina Fey. I would stand in line all day for that panel. – Nina Dobrev
Nell Scovell We have so many great memoirs from women in front of the camera, from Tina Fey, Mindy Kaling, Amy Poehler, and Amy Schumer. – Nell Scovell
Nasim Pedrad I really looked up to Tina Fey as a writer, and because I did have a background in writing, she is someone whose career I really did admire. – Nasim Pedrad
