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.

More quotes by 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.

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 have no regrets. The best thing to happen to me was for Lorne Michaels to hire me and fire me.

I just left wishing that it was longer because I enjoyed it so thoroughly.

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
If you make a careless choice, you can really ruin things and it can take awhile for them to repair.

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
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 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'm not one to wallow, but I am one to feel the sting of a slap for a while, I think.
Jenny Slate
I guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
Jenny Slate
I don't like feeling hemmed in and I don't like feeling that I'm repeating myself.
Jenny Slate
If you're in a good marriage, you have the sense that it won't be forever.
Jenny Slate
Although I do stand-up - doing actual stage work is terrifying for me.
Jenny Slate
I'd like to be in a tiny indie where I'm lost at sea.
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 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.
