More quotes by Lena Dunham
I'm really lucky because my sister is a real activist soul and also hyper-intellectualized in this way that's really allowed me to wrap my mind around some of the bigger intellectual concepts and really understand the language around identity in the gender nonconforming community.
Lena Dunham
It's not brave to do something that doesn't scare you. Performing in sex scenes that I direct, exposing a flash of my weird puffy nipple, those things don't fall into my zone of terror.
Lena Dunham
I would rather spend my entire life doing nothing than have my name attached to something mediocre.
Lena Dunham
I never sort of thought of myself as a comedy writer, by nature.
Lena Dunham
I am thinking particularly of a shower I took where the lower half of my body was under the running water and the upper half was laid out on the bath mat, eating a loaf of bread.
Lena Dunham
Things that feel super personal actually feel really universal. It's sort of the more you really identify something specific within yourself, the more people connect to it because ultimately we are all connected in some way.
Lena Dunham
But I want to tell my stories, more than that, I have to in order to stay sane.
Lena Dunham
I'm really lucky because I surround myself onset with people who I really trust to give me feedback, so I'm directing myself.
Lena Dunham
My dad finds Twitter just infinitely unrelatable. He's like, 'Why would I want to tell anybody what I had for a snack, it's private?!' And I'm like, 'Why would you even have a snack if you didn't tell anybody? Why bother eating?'
Lena Dunham
Survivors are so often re-victimized by a system that demands they prove their purity and innocence.
Lena Dunham
I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.
Lena Dunham
I didn't have to wait six years to get my show on the air, worry that someone else had a similar idea, or wait around for notes that took my voice out of the show.
Lena Dunham
I remember asking my mom, Do you think that I will ever have enough money to live outside of your house? And she would be like, You just never know.
Lena Dunham
I love directing scenes that I'm not in because suddenly I really feel like a filmmaker which is a different thing.
Lena Dunham
I thought I wanted to be a journalist or a novelist.
Lena Dunham
My relationship to eating, my relationship to critiquing my own shape, all of that has changed since I've started viewing my body much more as a tool to do my work.
Lena Dunham
I kind of look like every other girl walking around.
Lena Dunham
It's okay to change your mind. About a feeling, a person, a promise of love.
Lena Dunham
You’ve learned a new rule and it’s simple: don’t put yourself in situations you’d like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself, like that bunny in Runaway Bunny runs to its mother, but you are the mother and you’ll see that later and be very, very proud.
Lena Dunham
Calling someone a drama queen is so negative. Why not 'content creator'?
