Quotes by Jen Silverman (?)

“I used to think that joy was a place I wasn’t in but needed to move to.
Then I thought it was a practice that I just needed to work harder at.
But now I think that joy is not tripping over all my feet all the time.
Every time I get up in the morning and I don’t trip? I think that’s joy.”
― Jen Silverman, We Play Ourselves

“Every woman has the instinct to harm. We spend our whole lives denying it, but it's there. And denying it only damages us. It doesn't actually help anyone - least of all people we think we're protecting from ourselves. Because the instinct to harm? It leaks out in other ways. Darker, stranger ways - more insidious ways - until suddenly we've actually ruined someone's life instead of just punching them in the face. Don't you think they would have preferred a fist in the face, given the choice to choose?”

“And then, at the same time—in a place that is buried deep in my core—I want this play to be good. I want to be transported by it. I want it to fulfill its contract with me, the audience member—I want it to wrap itself around me, bring me someplace I can’t get by myself. I want it to tell me things about myself that I can’t bear to know, but tell them to me in a way that makes it possible to know them.”
