More quotes by 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
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 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
I'm not one to wallow, but I am one to feel the sting of a slap for a while, I think.
Jenny Slate
I don't like feeling hemmed in and I don't like feeling that I'm repeating myself.
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.
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'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
TV can be fairly rigid. I've done enough Network TV to know that it's fun but if I have to go somewhere every day maybe it's not the most satisfying [job].
Jenny Slate
I don't make a lot of mistakes, honestly. I'm an A-student, I'm an Ivy Leaguer. I need those things.
Jenny Slate
I'd like to be in a tiny indie where I'm lost at sea.
Jenny Slate
I am a comedian and I started in stand-up when I was 22.
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'd like to be in a female version of The Fugitive. Something where I don't have to be ripped up like an action star, but be a normal, healthy lady who is framed and on the run. I'd have to run from explosions and punch people in the face but not rappel down a building.
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 have no regrets. The best thing to happen to me was for Lorne Michaels to hire me and fire me.
Jenny Slate
I want to keep growing and I want to be an actress for as long as I can.
Jenny Slate
There are so many different stories. You can choose to tell them, or not, but they certainly have the right to exist
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
Although I do stand-up - doing actual stage work is terrifying for me.
