Quotes by Jill Soloway

Jill Soloway

Along the way, female filmmakers will have the feeling that they’re not good enough. And that’s really just a result of being “otherized” from the moment they’re born. Keep an eye out for all those insecurities, and even expect them. Borrow white male privilege and just move through the world as if it was created for you. You have to kind of talk yourself into an imaginary space where the world is on your side and expects you to speak and wants you to speak. You have to create that space for yourself over and over again. Every hour sometimes.

Your Side

As you grow and change, you become possibly someone else. You want to go back to your family of origin and say, ‘Do you still love me? Would you still love me if I become X or Y or Z? When will you stop loving me? Is this unconditional love and if not what are the conditions?’

Unconditional Love

I was talking to my friend who’s Israeli and she said that from the moment you’re born, you’re taught to hate the Palestinians. That’s it. That’s your life. That’s what you learn from day one.

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.

I’m happy to always be included in the list of women. I’d like to be in the sections about female leaders and male leaders. Why not?

Female

Leader

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’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.
