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'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
There was a while when I got really bad stage fright and I basically felt...I was incredibly angry. I felt like everything had been taken away from me and it was at that point that I realized how much doing stand up reminds me of my self love and curiosity about myself and love of other people because I don't go on stage to dominate.
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
If you don't respect each other and let it lie, it can be embarrassing or really frustrating.
Jenny Slate
I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
Jenny Slate
I'm not one to wallow, but I am one to feel the sting of a slap for a while, I think.

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
