With 'I Want You Back' and beyond, jennyslate's artistic spirit is alive and well.
. “I really loved those films, but I think they stopped making them, to be honest,” says the actress, writer, and comedian over a Zoom call one morning. “I think people were uncomfortable with just wanting funniness and romance, and they needed maybe what they considered to be a bit more attitude.”
Slate has played many roles over the years fitting that description. Love is familiar yet inexhaustible narrative territory for Slate, from her 2014 breakout in Gillian Robespierre’s, in which she plays a young woman navigating romance in the midst of an unplanned pregnancy, to her 2019 standup special-cum-documentaryLittle Weirds
To witness and to love are, especially in Slate’s work, synonymous. Performance and romance are alike in that they rely on seeing and being seen; an exchange that demands mutual compassion. Perhaps that’s why Slate is drawn to both. In, she likens being on stage to falling in love: “On stage and everywhere else, I know that there is so much you could do to me.
Being on the other side of the door has only enriched Slate’s beliefs about love, and provides fertile ground in which they can take root and grow. “The warmth of my relationship with my husband and my daughter and my position in our family has burnt off some of my cheaper vanities and some of the persistent doubts and questions that I had about myself as an individual,” she explains. “Having a baby has allowed me to be the person that I've always wanted to be.
