Enter the Weird, Wonderful World of Jenny Slate
that same year. “After writing my book, I think I was like,,” she says, “I am. …I just am. I like what I am. I think I get it. I enjoy what I'm like.” Hollywood has a bad habit of forcing actresses to play the same type of role over and over again—the “if it ain’t broke” model of female stardom. But Slate’s career has been more eccentric: an idiosyncratic mix of characters and projects across a variety of mediums.
She sees Marcel the Shell as a palliative to our media culture of high-octane rapid-fire content: “I just hope that it exists in people's lives as if something ... a glowing orb landed in your backyard in the middle of the night, and you just looked at it for a while. I think I guess I hope it allows people to feel that they are entitled to their own moments of contemplation.”
The first layer required Slate doing a lot of improvisation. “It would just be like, ‘Okay. This is the scene where Nana Connie wants Marcel to do the interview, and he doesn't want to,’ and the gist is she's like, ‘You can't not do things because you're afraid,’ and Marcel has to say that he's afraid that things will just get worse and not get better, and he doesn't know if he can handle it. So, it's very, very set up.
It’s possible Slate feels as though she has more to protect—marriage to a partner she loves, and their child together. Slate and Shattuck were married just two weeks ago on New Year’s Eve 2021 in their living room, their fourth attempt at a wedding after the first three were cancelled due to Covid. “We were planning on a [wedding] that ended up being almost 200 people, and then now, it’s just our parents and siblings. We each invited six friends… I actually like it. I like it better.
There are so many profound challenges, but I've never been happier in my life. I feel like I can finally be what I want to be.
