More quotes by Jill Soloway
By recognizing your own vulnerability you can recognize and identify with the vulnerability in others.
Jill Soloway
Because so many rooms are run by men they're just used to women being the that - to be adored and dreamed about.
Jill Soloway
One of the things that feels so challenging is how questioning Israel and the idea of a Jewish state somehow opens the door for other sorts of questions - and wounds.
Jill Soloway
I've been told by people I respect that flashbacks only work if they have their own narrative, but they can't be part of the present narrative.
Jill Soloway
I haven't made art about Israel. There's a covert subtext of Jewish identity in my artwork.
Jill Soloway
I'm like a bit of a feminist, I have kinds of highly political dreams. I'm a dreamer about taking on the patriarchy and all that kinda stuff. So I actually have the secret belief that there are enough people who would consider themselves quote-unquote other to support my particular taste.
Jill Soloway
If you go to Europe, public bathrooms have any-gender sink areas and stalls for everyone to use. This is completely reasonable. It potentially involves the destruction of the urinal industry, which I think people would be happy to see go away.

I want women to be the subject, not the object.

My experience as a Jewish American has often been as a spectator of one-sided conversations, or more like monologues, about Israel, Jewish History, Jewish identity, etc. Although there are profound divisions amongst Jews on all of these topics there are not many opportunities for deep and thoughtful dialogue about them.
Jill Soloway
Someone will say to me, Oh that's so Jewish to interrupt. I say to myself, okay, is that code for you hate Jews? Or am I just being paranoid?
Jill Soloway
I said to my parents that I don't even know if there should be an Israel. And they were just so upset and hurt.
Jill Soloway
I think kids in general are much more capable of understanding the idea of being transgender than adults.
Jill Soloway
You have to totally change the way that society's structured in order to being to heal.
Jill Soloway
Sometimes it seems like America is the Christian and Israel is the little Jew they love in this fetishistic way. Like, you're my little sister and I'll kick anyone's ass that messes with you. But when we're alone and no one's looking I'll harass you.
Jill Soloway
I'd always have a sort of automatic urge to share what I'm doing with other people.
Jill Soloway
There are multiple shows of record about a late-transitioning patriarch and how the kids are affected, and there are multiple narratives. That narrative on Keeping up with the Kardashians, the answer is, they're pretty much fine. It's the same sort of story we were telling which is, you know what? Everybody's okay.
Jill Soloway
There are a lot of men with feminine leadership styles and there are a lot of women with masculine leadership styles.
Jill Soloway
It will feel boring when you're bingeing.
Jill Soloway
In my own work I am invested in art as a way to break through impasses, whether those impasses are personal, social, or political.
Jill Soloway
I remember learning about the Holocaust when I was in kindergarten and being terrified. I think we even watched a graphic video about it in Jewish day school. Although I was quite young, I remember making these vows to myself such as, I'm never going to love my country so much that I can't leave in a moment's notice.
