Comedy can be a little brutal, but not in a satisfying way.

It makes a lot of sense to me that I would be a cartoon. I feel like a cartoon as a person. I really, really do.

I just want to be able to be creative.

For some reason, I never watched Lifetime but just discovered it. I was like, 'Oh, it's all rom-coms!'

If I'm going to have baked goods in the morning, the rule is that I have to make them myself.

A woman who is not ready to have a baby making it work is not a happy ending to me. It's a personal nightmare.
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.
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.

I didn't hit puberty until I was, like, 17, so I love to talk about that.
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.
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.
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.
Jenny Slate -
I love waking up in the morning. It makes me feel really excited.
Jenny Slate -
I think that, unfortunately, people who are maybe threatened by feminism think that it's about setting your bra on fire and being aggressive, and I think that's really wrong and really dangerous.
Jenny Slate
-
I just really like it when things are earnest.
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.
Jenny Slate -
I've become very interested in the ways things can change even with someone you've known for many years and you've committed to for life. How drastic can you damage things in the way you speak to someone?
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.
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.
Jenny Slate -
I think that there have been a lot of fear-based assertions that feminism is about aggression, and that is incorrect and untrue. Feminism is about equality; that's what it's about.

It's strange: I've done so many things up until I did 'Obvious Child,' including writing children's books and making 'Marcel the Shell.' To me, the through-line is incredibly clear: it all comes from wanting to be connected to my own inner voice and not wanting to be on somebody else's agenda if that means that I can't be myself.
Jenny Slate -
It's not good for me to see things while they're being edited. I can be highly critical, so I try to stay away.
Jenny Slate -
I don't have any horror stories of trying to start as a comedian and eating it constantly on stage.
Jenny Slate -
People want to see comedies where characters aren't sacrificed for the jokes.
