More quotes by Lena Dunham
At my age, no one is married, no one has kids, no one has a career.
Lena Dunham
I love flawed female characters, duking it out.
Lena Dunham
My uncle's a lawyer and I remember going to see him in court and thinking, 'That's cool, too bad I could never be a lawyer.'
Lena Dunham
I seriously consider television to be the people's medium.
Lena Dunham
Here's what I have to say about being married: someday you will look at him, hating him with every fibre of your being, wishing that he would die the most violent death possible. It will pass.
Lena Dunham
Part of being a feminist is giving other women the freedom to make choices you might not necessarily make yourself.
Lena Dunham
I would go to work from 9 to 6, go home, nap for two hours, then write from 8 to 2 a.m.
Lena Dunham
I'm always having to be told to brush my hair.
Lena Dunham
If a young woman is looking at the landscape of Hollywood, what she sees is almost only challenges.
Lena Dunham
I always thought that if you had any real proximity to famous people, that your obsession with famous people, would wane is some way. Like, I wouldn't want to deep google Matthew McConaughey's early relationships for hours before I go to bed. And it's just gotten worse.
Lena Dunham
My fears came true: People called me fat and hideous, and I lived. And now I keep living.
Lena Dunham
Here's who it's okay to share a bed with: . . . A heating pad. An empty bag of pita chips. The love of your life.
Lena Dunham
You have to move so you don't die. You have to move so your brain doesn't atrophy. You have to move so that you look a little bit like a person that you might want to be. There are a thousand reasons why exercise is important, and I've had to find ways to make it sexy for myself.
Lena Dunham
I mean, I - it's so funny, I am, you know, I am, you know, a working woman out in the world, but I still live with my parents half the time. I've been sort of taking this very long, stuttering period of moving out.
Lena Dunham
Let's be reasonable and add an eighth day to the week that is devoted exclusively to reading.
Lena Dunham
But I also think when we embark on intimate relationships, we make a basic human promise to be decent, to hold a flattering mirror up to each other, to be respectful as we explore each other.
Lena Dunham
I feel prettier with a naked face and ChapStick. But a good haircut makes a huge difference.
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
It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself.
Lena Dunham
My mom said the term heavy petting existed a lot when she was in high school.
