More quotes by Jill Soloway
It will feel boring when you're bingeing.
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
That was something that I learned from Alan Ball from “Six Feet Under. He didn”t really like to have too many pop culture references because they don”t really hold up after a few years.
Jill Soloway
I haven't made art about Israel. There's a covert subtext of Jewish identity in my artwork.
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
Fear of anti-Semitism almost is part of our religion. Throughout time Jewish people have experienced traumas that we relive in a lot of the things we celebrate.
Jill Soloway
I have never wanted to claim I know what is best for Israel.

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.
Jill Soloway
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
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
By recognizing your own vulnerability you can recognize and identify with the vulnerability in others.
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.
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
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 still see storytelling for men by men that is always reinforcing the male gaze.
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
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
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.
