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.

More quotes by Jenny Slate
I want to keep growing and I want to be an actress for as long as I can.
Jenny Slate
If you don't respect each other and let it lie, it can be embarrassing or really frustrating.
Jenny Slate
Although I do stand-up - doing actual stage work is terrifying for me.
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
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'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
If you're in a good marriage, you have the sense that it won't be forever.
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
I'd like to be in a tiny indie where I'm lost at sea.
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
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 don't like feeling hemmed in and I don't like feeling that I'm repeating myself.
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
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
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 tend to be a bit of a workaholic, but I also can't function without some sort of domesticity as well.
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 guess some people want to be performers because they want to be famous.
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
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.
