More quotes by 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
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.
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
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 is a real comfort with the position of the victim, which can either result in true empathy or deep paranoia.
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.

Many of the trans women who are in our world are also in Caitlyn's Jenner world. And yes I've definitely spoken to her multiple times, talked to her, socialized with her. It's a small community when all is said and done, the trans community in Los Angeles. So everybody really knows each other and everybody's in contact.

You have to totally change the way that society's structured in order to being to heal.

I'm glad that Jewish kids are taught about the Holocaust and other stories in our history, but I wonder if there are ways that this information and narrative can be transmitted differently.
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
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
I haven't made art about Israel. There's a covert subtext of Jewish identity in my artwork.
Jill Soloway
As you grow and change, you become possibly someone else. You want to go back to your family of origin and say, ‘Do you still love me? Would you still love me if I become X or Y or Z? When will you stop loving me? Is this unconditional love and if not what are the conditions?’
Jill Soloway
It will feel boring when you're bingeing.

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

In the little travel I've done to other countries, the Jews there embraced me saying, Come to our house, come and have Shabbat with us. Jews in the Diaspora. I didn't imagine an Israeli traveling to the U.S. would feel this intensity of a forced relationship.
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
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 think kids in general are much more capable of understanding the idea of being transgender than adults.
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.
