More quotes by 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
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
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'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

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'm not one to wallow, but I am one to feel the sting of a slap for a while, I think.
Jenny Slate
Nowadays, performers who want to create their own material put it on the Internet. I never knew whether or not it would make an impression - and frankly, I didn't care that much about how it would be received.
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
Not often is there as much of a vulnerable side as there is a funny side.
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
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
Although I do stand-up - doing actual stage work is terrifying for me.

There are so many different stories. You can choose to tell them, or not, but they certainly have the right to exist
