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.
From Jenny Slate
I always thought that farts were funny, and I always thought that they were mine to talk about because they came out of my body.
I think I was aware when I started doing stand-up, especially on my own, that, yeah, I'm getting up on stage, and I'm a woman, and I dress in a sort of typically feminine fashion.
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.
'Obvious Child,' the short, had a nice life online and a great festival run, but the short and the feature still stand apart from everything else I've done. I play a woman who you might meet in life. My other work is much more heightened.
I sometimes think my earnestness is confused for stupidity, but it shouldn't be.
It's exciting to play someone who is a bit tougher than I am. I liked feeling those adjustments.
There's not one type of stand-up, just like there's not one type of woman.
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.
The experience of the human, male or female, cannot be completely defined by one startling, surprising, or gigantic life experience.
