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
There are a lot of men with feminine leadership styles and there are a lot of women with masculine leadership styles.

By recognizing your own vulnerability you can recognize and identify with the vulnerability in others.

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.

So much of the United State's political relationship with Israel is based on culture. Israel is the only Westernized culture in the region and the Middle Eastern countries bordering Israel are Arab, which is a totally different society. Even though Israel doesn't exactly feel like the United States, by comparison to its neighbors it's very Western.
Jill Soloway

When I write, I lose time. I'm happy in a way that I have a hard time finding in real life. The intimacy between my brain and my fingers and my computer... Yet knowing that that intimacy will find an audience... It's very satisfying. It's like having the safety of being alone with the ego reward of being known.

Many of our holidays revolve around traumas that happened to our people and how we must remember them in specific ways. The way these stories are told and what we take away from them can change, and do in certain contexts, but overall I am not sure whether Jews want to let go of the narrative of the victim.
Jill Soloway
I want women to be the subject, not the object.
Jill Soloway
I'd always have a sort of automatic urge to share what I'm doing with other people.
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
If most of the reviewers are white cis men, if most of the distributors are white cis men, most of the executives in history have been white cis men. Most of the people who have been giving awards to people are people who've already been in the business - retired white cis men. They've been creating a body of narrative forever.
Jill Soloway
It's really just a freedom that we have with Amazon to push ourselves creatively. It allowed me to say, you know, okay this is going to be a little half-hour film here to start the season.
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
You have to totally change the way that society's structured in order to being to heal.
Jill Soloway
I haven't made art about Israel. There's a covert subtext of Jewish identity in my artwork.
Jill Soloway
I learned in grade-school that after WWII European politicians considered sending Jews to Madagascar instead of Palestine. At the time I thought: Madagascar would've been so great.
