Amy Poehler is pretty hilarious. The Parks and Recreation leading lady always knows the right things to say that almost always make us laugh. The Golden Globe winner graces the cover for the March 2014 issue of the Ladies’ Home Journal.

But don’t expect only one-liners from the blonde goof-ball in the interview. Poehler shares life-lessons and talks about the importance of maintaining female friendships.

“Most of the women in your life will outlast the men in your life,” Poehler says specifically referencing the woman on SNL.

“The SNL ladies—Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Tina [Fey]—and I text pictures of our kids back and forth all the time. It keeps us connected. As my nanny used to say, the older you get the more important it is to know people that knew you when.”

The 42-year-old mom continues saying, “I think the hardest thing is to know what you want, ask for it and then to stop talking. Because she’s older, she’s more confident. “You realize no one can make you feel bad about your choices without your permission.”
