Amy Poehler: 'I would never write a memoir'

Amy Poehler has said that she has no desire to become an author like friends Tina Fey and Mindy Kaling.

Both Fey and Kaling released their own memoirs this year - Fey with Bossypants and Kaling with Is Everyone Hanging Out With Me? (And Other Concerns).

The two female comics also wrote about Poehler in a positive light inside their books.

"The dream of a lazy writer is to have everyone write about you," Poehler told Vulture. "You never have to do it yourself. I would so much rather read what Mindy and Tina write about me - to be in their books is a dream come true.

"If I wrote a book, all I'm going to do is excerpt their chapters. I'll write, like, an eight-page book.  I'll write a two-line foreword, then I'll use their passages, and maybe I'll ask someone to sketch something in the back. And then I'll be done."

In an episode of Parks and Recreation this season, Poehler's character Leslie Knope wrote a book called Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America.

The book is a complete guide to Parks and Recreation's fictional town of Pawnee, IN.

Poehler, who has said that she is proud of the successes in her career, joked that Knope wrote "every single word" of Pawnee: The Greatest Town in America.
