Success Quote by Teri Hatcher

"My advice, Be healthy, reach your own goals and don't be afraid to impersonate a SNL star"

About this Quote

Teri Hatcher’s line reads like a wellness mantra that suddenly swerves into sketch-comedy mischief, and that swerve is the point. “Be healthy” and “reach your own goals” are the familiar, interview-friendly pillars of celebrity advice culture: tidy, aspirational, impossible to argue with. Then she punctures the self-seriousness with “don’t be afraid to impersonate a SNL star,” a phrase that sounds silly on purpose. It’s a reminder that self-improvement without play turns quickly into performance anxiety.

The intent is less about literal mimicry and more about permission. Hatcher is an actress; her whole career is built on trying on voices, bodies, and personas. By pointing to SNL specifically, she invokes a cultural institution where impersonation isn’t theft, it’s craft: a way to study power by exaggerating it. The subtext is that identity is partly rehearsal. Want confidence? Borrow it. Want range? Copy someone with range until you’ve built your own.

There’s also a sly jab at the authenticity fetish that dominates modern self-help. Hatcher suggests that “being yourself” can be an obstacle when you’re stuck. Impersonation becomes a tool for risk-taking: you can attempt boldness, humor, or swagger under the cover of a character, then keep what works when the mask comes off.

In a celebrity ecosystem that rewards polish, the joke lands as strategy: stay grounded, aim high, and keep a little comic theft in your toolkit.
