Jill Soloway Quotes

It will feel boring when you’re bingeing Picture Quote #1

As much as possible, I put my family first Picture Quote #1

I think I’ve always had that struggle my whole life, of feeling a little bit more gender-neutral, feeling more comfortable as a creative person when I’m dressed like a boy, when I’m dressed more masculine Picture Quote #1

I took all my TV experience and what I learned about - by writing and directing and bringing a movie to Sundance - about the realities of the independent film market: ‘Transparent’ is the marriage of those two situations Picture Quote #1

I think, because of the Internet, we’re not looking at the very, very narrow channels for distribution that there used to be Picture Quote #1

I really feel like becoming a director came from other women saying, ‘Yeah, you can do this.’ I wanted to direct ‘Six Feet Under,’ and no, they didn’t let me Picture Quote #1

At East Side Jews, we can take a risk because it isn’t all about the rules. I started it to create a space for all those people who wouldn’t go to temple because they were scared of getting the rules wrong Picture Quote #1

The inbox is always open in my brain, and anyone can get in any time and access me. Turning it off is taking back control. I decide who gets in. It’s about emotional privacy, having a self Picture Quote #1

I’ve been writing about misogyny for 20 years and trying to understand what femininity means for my entire career Picture Quote #1

I always wanted to find my voice and claim my tone, but I was doing it through the steps of being a TV writer. I had the executive producer title. I was running the room Picture Quote #1

Normally, I think the people you would use on your first film, it would be a real struggle to bring them with you onto your television show. I just brought every single person with and expanded my little indie film world Picture Quote #1

I always love the soapy conflicts between somebody’s family of origin and their new family - ‘Do I have Thanksgiving at my husband’s parents’ house, or at my parents’ house?’ Picture Quote #1

My interest in community is what fuels my work as a writer, more than just wanting to write or just wanting to have a TV show Picture Quote #1

The network shows have this very commercial voice that you have to adhere to, and the cable shows, it’s kind of like winning the lottery. The independent film world is a world you can actually get to. You can get the under-a-million-dollar film by finding a good cast and financing Picture Quote #1

I’m a minimalist Jew, but on Friday night, I celebrate Shabbat. At sundown, we light candles, say the blessing, and I don’t turn on my computer for 24 hours Picture Quote #1

Watching ‘Girls,’ it was really angering for me at first, because I really had spent decades hiding unlikable, unattractive Jewish girls in likable, attractive, non-Jewish actors and characters Picture Quote #1

Guys, there’s only one thing I hate more than bloggers who start sentences with ‘guys’ - and it’s those mealy-mouth hipsters who crochet codpieces and their ye-olde-sideburned friends who pickle stuff and slaughter their own gluten-free goats Picture Quote #1

I learned in grade-school that after WWII European politicians considered sending Jews to Madagascar instead of Palestine. At the time I thought: Madagascar would’ve been so great Picture Quote #1

I’m embarrassed that people will know that I can’t ride a bicycle. For years, I have been feigning bad ankles and saying I wasn’t in the mood for a bike ride Picture Quote #1

I really like writing television, and I like the collaborative writers room feeling. It’s ten people, and you’re together every day laughing your heads off Picture Quote #1

People who don’t have experience setting healthy boundaries, they have secrets instead Picture Quote #1

You have to totally change the way that society’s structured in order to being to heal Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

When I went to Sundance for ‘Afternoon Delight,’ I came back feeling like I wanted to take my experience that I learned from directing and bring that into a series Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I love the Army-Navy surplus store Surplus Value Center. They have really good long underwear and multicolored bandanas, cool camo jackets, and really, really scary-looking knives. If you’re into that sort of thing Picture Quote #1

It’s hard enough to be a lady writer. Doubly hard to be a funny lady writer Picture Quote #1
