You don't realize it until you go out and take a look, but there are so many ways in which sexism is just allowed in our culture, not just in the entertainment industry. It's just allowed to be there, and that's not acceptable anymore. And I think it's really important to be very vocal.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I always wanted to be a children's author, and I have a really big library of children's books. All the ones from when I was little, they are just so beautiful. I read kids' books, and they calm me down.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
My grandfather was a lot like a white Jewish George Jefferson, and he did not enjoy my work very much.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I feel a lot of life in me and a lot of creative energy, and I think it's better suited somewhere it can run free.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I do think that character types trend. As a female comedian, the parts that come my way are often terrible women.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I loved pretending to be a middle-aged Jewish woman. I just wanted to do what I saw Gilda Radner and Carol Burnett doing. But I'm not a particularly good impressionist. It was never my strong suit.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
We love rom-coms, but it's getting to where we don't identify with any of the women in them.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I learned my lesson early in my career that it's not helpful to go and look at what other people's opinions are.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
It takes a while to realize that just because you're a stand-up comedian and you do comedy, you're not going to be good at all comedy.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
You don't have to be in the brightest, shiniest state of being an individual to feel like you're exceptional.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I've always wanted to play a normal woman, and I think I have been offered these parts where I play a kook because I'm not the idea of what a normal woman is.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I know sometimes my Twitter feed is intense, but I take it as a friendly void to scream into. I don't have another way to be.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
It's important to say that it's not just men that can be man-children. Women can be grown-up women and still have the playfulness of people who are younger.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I grew up idolizing Madeline Kahn and Lily Tomlin and Carol Burnett, Ruth Gordon, Rosalind Russell, Amy Irving, women who were stylish and real actresses who did real work and could not be replaced with anyone else. You cannot cast anyone else in Madeline Kahn's roles.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
It's 2014, and the fact that anybody has to fight for the right to do what they want to do with their body in a safe and responsible way is infuriating.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I wanted to be in New York because I wanted to be on 'SNL.' I spent a lot of time wanting to be on 'Saturday Night Live' as a kid. That's what I wanted.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I have a big thing about needing to know that I belong - in my group of friends, in my family, in my industry.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I don't know exactly what's next. But I do know now that it's something rather than nothing.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I tend to be really spacey, but I don't think it's because I'm unintelligent - it's just my imagination and a little bit of ADD.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I think sometimes in comedy the characters are often sacrificed for the joke, and it's more important for it to be funny than for there to be love.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I couldn't wait to be an adult woman, and I'm glad I felt that way as a kid because, when I grew up, I realised I live in a world where the female form is really disrespected, and society is often trying to wrestle the female form into a shape that looks more like a young boy.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
People want to see comedies where characters aren't sacrificed for the jokes.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I feel I have to be totally cemented in my position, all: 'You can't tell me what to do with my body', but there is another part of me that is, you know, myself: vulnerable, with lots of doubts.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
That time when you're waiting for a job can be the most impactful and important time because you develop your preferences as a person. Knowing what you like will make you more confident. And then you'll stand out.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
For some reason, I never watched Lifetime but just discovered it. I was like, 'Oh, it's all rom-coms!'
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I would go so far as to say I would not have the life that I have right now if it wasn't for Gabe Liedman. He is the first person I met in my adulthood that I felt was truly delighted by me and understood me and also was curious about me.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
Don't think twice. If it's a character that you feel compelled to play and story that you feel needs to be told, don't think twice.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I like to wear dresses and skirts when I go onstage because the attitude that I have is, 'I'm so excited to introduce myself to you.' And I want to be wearing what I'd be wearing to a date or a dinner party.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
It was so quick for me on 'SNL.' It's not something I consider to be, like, one of the big spaces in my career.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I think, from a really early age, I just wanted to be an actress. And I ended up doing comedy because it was the thing that kind of, like, came out of my nature the most easily. But, I've always wanted to do as many different kinds of performances - whatever I could.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I have things I say over and over again, for sure, but I've never wanted to make an album or really go on the road. I don't want any traction. I just want to be able to express myself and to feel love.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
It looks like I'm just gonna keep getting really, really happy and sad and embarrassed and excited and disappointed for the rest of my life, so let's just do that.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
A lot of people think that I'm one of the women from 'Broad City' - and I'm just not.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
I got great sex education, and I always knew that if I wanted to be sexually active, I had to have safe sex.
Quote by -Jenny Slate
There is something to grace and deportment, but you determine that for yourself. That's something you own.
