More quotes by 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
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
If you make a careless choice, you can really ruin things and it can take awhile for them to repair.
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 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
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
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
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
I'm not one to wallow, but I am one to feel the sting of a slap for a while, I think.
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
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
Although I do stand-up - doing actual stage work is terrifying for me.
Jenny Slate
I don't make a lot of mistakes, honestly. I'm an A-student, I'm an Ivy Leaguer. I need those things.
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'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 am a comedian and I started in stand-up when I was 22.
Jenny Slate
I just left wishing that it was longer because I enjoyed it so thoroughly.
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'd like to be in a tiny indie where I'm lost at sea.
Jenny Slate
I know that I don't like being teased.
Jenny Slate
