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.

More quotes by 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
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
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're in a good marriage, you have the sense that it won't be forever.
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
I think the reason I like making movies sometimes more than doing TV is that you have one task, you only have a certain amount of time to do it, and then it is done. And I really like focusing in that way.
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

Sometimes you watch comedians and feel like they're jerking off in front of you, but they want you to see how big it is.
Jenny Slate
I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
Jenny Slate
Although I do stand-up - doing actual stage work is terrifying for me.
Jenny Slate
I am a comedian and I started in stand-up when I was 22.
Jenny Slate
Don't be snarky, but don't be saccharine. Don't pander, but don't shut people out. Go straight down the line with the performance.
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 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
If you make a careless choice, you can really ruin things and it can take awhile for them to repair.
Jenny Slate
There are so many different stories. You can choose to tell them, or not, but they certainly have the right to exist
