More quotes by 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.

I have never wanted to claim I know what is best for Israel.
Jill Soloway
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
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.

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.

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

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?

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
I think kids in general are much more capable of understanding the idea of being transgender than adults.
Jill Soloway
I want women to be the subject, not the object.
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 still see storytelling for men by men that is always reinforcing the male gaze.
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.
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'd always have a sort of automatic urge to share what I'm doing with other people.
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
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.

It will feel boring when you're bingeing.
