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 guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
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
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 am a comedian and I started in stand-up when I was 22.
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 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'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
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
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 just left wishing that it was longer because I enjoyed it so thoroughly.
Jenny Slate
I'd like to be in a tiny indie where I'm lost at sea.
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
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 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 tend to be a bit of a workaholic, but I also can't function without some sort of domesticity as well.
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 don't like feeling hemmed in and I don't like feeling that I'm repeating myself.
Jenny Slate
I want to keep growing and I want to be an actress for as long as I can.
Jenny Slate
I'm sure that if I had a partner and that partner cheated on me, that I would be devastated if we were in a committed, monogamous relationship. So of course, it's a devastating thing.
Jenny Slate
