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.

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.

I am a comedian and I started in stand-up when I was 22.

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.

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.

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.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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.

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.

If you don't respect each other and let it lie, it can be embarrassing or really frustrating.

I'd like to be in a tiny indie where I'm lost at sea.

I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.

Although I do stand-up - doing actual stage work is terrifying for me.

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.

I'm not one to wallow, but I am one to feel the sting of a slap for a while, I think.

I don't like feeling hemmed in and I don't like feeling that I'm repeating myself.

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].
