More quotes by Jenny Slate
I am a comedian and I started in stand-up when I was 22.
Jenny Slate
I'd like to be in a tiny indie where I'm lost at sea.
Jenny Slate
I've only been acting since 2009 and I learn more and more with each job. I think I prepare and I'm very focused and I have a good work ethic that I learned in school.
Jenny Slate
I'd like to do a little bit of everything. I think the only thing I can't do is a British accent, so that's out. No Shakespeare for me. Unless it's like one of those modern-day remakes.
Jenny Slate
I don't like feeling hemmed in and I don't like feeling that I'm repeating myself.
Jenny Slate
At the beginning of my career, fresh out of college, I did everything that I could do. And now I'm a little bit more selective. I think that's sort of a natural process.
Jenny Slate
I always just wanted to be a movie actress, like Lily Tomlin or Ruth Gordon. I just imagined myself being in a movie, wearing stylish women's clothing the way I saw Amy Irving wearing it.
Jenny Slate
I don't want to grow a thick skin. Some people say, Oh, you're an actress, you have to get used to criticism. But I don't accept that. I'll never get used to criticism, and I'll always care about whether or not people like my performances - because I'm an entertainer, and I want to please.
Jenny Slate
When I'm on stage, and when I'm comfortable or uncomfortable, I have sort of a knee-jerk reaction to try to make people laugh. It's my version of a handshake to show that I want to make a connection and to show what I'm truly like. It's kind of my statement like, This is what I'm really like. I'd like you to love me.
Jenny Slate
Not often is there as much of a vulnerable side as there is a funny side.
Jenny Slate
If you make a careless choice, you can really ruin things and it can take awhile for them to repair.
Jenny Slate
I tend to be a bit of a workaholic, but I also can't function without some sort of domesticity as well.
Jenny Slate
You have to be really careful to watch out for the difference between banding together, and being grouped together by people who don't understand you.
Jenny Slate
I'm not one to wallow, but I am one to feel the sting of a slap for a while, I think.
Jenny Slate
When I would go on stage I would start to feel that the eyes that watching me weren't kind. And it took me a while to realize that those eyes were my own eyes.
Jenny Slate
I think my comedic style is at once bashful and explosive. It's a little bit perverted, and a little bit ladylike and old-fashioned, which is a great mix. Sort of tangy.
Jenny Slate
I want to make every kind of movie that I can make. I don't really care if they're big or small.
Jenny Slate
I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
Jenny Slate
If you're in a good marriage, you have the sense that it won't be forever.
Jenny Slate
Being on SNL was a goal that I had when I was younger. When I got fired, I just felt really mad and I felt really grossed out by the system and grossed out by myself and it just sort of knocked me on my ass.
