More quotes by Lena Dunham
If a young woman is looking at the landscape of Hollywood, what she sees is almost only challenges.
Lena Dunham
I took Forever [by Judy Blume] to the bathroom to read [when I was eight] and then I heard my mom coming so I stuck it under the toilet and went running out. And I went back later to check for it. And it was gone.
Lena Dunham
I'm not jealous in traditional ways - of boyfriends or babies or bank accounts - but I do covet other women's styles of being.
Lena Dunham
Women want to control other women because they've been controlled themselves. It's a cycle of control. I'm not blaming women for that, but I am saying we're part of a toxic culture that's feeding all of us the same messaging.
Lena Dunham
I don't want to get married until all gay people can get married.
Lena Dunham
I'm glad if my work can make a difference.
Lena Dunham
I always thought the saddest feeling in life is when you're dancing in a really joyful way and then you hit your head on something.
Lena Dunham
Don't put yourself in situations you'd like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself.
Lena Dunham
The current economic climate means getting out of college is no guarantee of getting a job, and no guarantee of a satisfying work life. My Dad feels that this is the first generation of Americans that expects that there children will have a harder time then they did. That's a fascinating concept.
Lena Dunham
I sort of tend to equate tattoos with prisoners, punks or people with a high level of self-confidence. I don’t necessarily have a covered-in-tattoos personality.
Lena Dunham
You don't need to be flamboyant in your life to be flamboyant in your work.
Lena Dunham
I probably I went into my room alone [when I was six] and I was just like, how have I even, how can I even continue on this earth with this terrible, terrible knowledge [about sex].
Lena Dunham
When someone anonymous tells me I'm fat, that's not a person to me. If they're not going to acknowledge me as a person, I'm certainly not going to acknowledge them as a person.
Lena Dunham
For straight, hetero people it's very easy to unintentionally say something that might not honor people's identities fully, and Grace Dunham is a really amazing educational resource.
Lena Dunham
I don't really have a place where people can reach me via email because it got a little overwhelming. People tweet things at me like, oh DM me for a great story that you'll definitely need to use on the show, which I don't, you know, DM them.
Lena Dunham
The end never comes when you think it will. It's always ten steps past the worst moment, then a weird turn to the left.
Lena Dunham
I find it really awkward to do a scene where I'm supposed to seem like I'm in 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
I just hope that I continue to keep a line between my private life and who I play, even if they are closely intertwined, and so I'm careful. I don't even know where my line is, but I know I have a line.
Lena Dunham
It's okay to change your mind. About a feeling, a person, a promise of love.
Lena Dunham
