I think about my best friendship - which the Marnie-Hannah friendship in Girls is based on - as like a great romance of my young life.

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
Image
When I graduated college I had a series of just humiliating jobs that I couldn't believe I was at.
Lena Dunham
Image
My fears came true: People called me fat and hideous, and I lived. And now I keep living.

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.

I still go to a party and say something embarrassing to someone, and then write them a weird e-mail about it the next day, and then write them a text because I think they didn't get the e-mail.

Don't put yourself in situations you'd like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself.

I find it really awkward to do a scene where I'm supposed to seem like I'm in love.
Lena Dunham
Image
I can never be who I was. I can simply watch her with sympathy, understanding, and some measure of awe. There she goes, backpack on, headed for the subway or the airport. She did her best with her eyeliner. She learned a new word she wants to try out on you. She is ambling along. She is looking for it.
Lena Dunham
Image
I should do the things that make me feel cool and smart. As I get older, I'm realizing more and more that it doesn't really matter if I'm good at it, it just matters that I try. My own effort, my own willingness, are becoming what's appealing to me.

There’s always an article coming out, saying, ‘The new thing is funny women!’
Lena Dunham
Image
I've been a little haphazard about how nude I get, and the only thing that keeps me from getting anxious about it is that I've had complete control over it.
Lena Dunham
Image
Of course you don't want anybody to feel shame for their sexuality. But you also want to make it clear that a loud, a loud and proud approach to your sexuality at a young age isn't necessary to be a fully integrated person.
Lena Dunham
Image
I'm really lucky because I surround myself onset with people who I really trust to give me feedback, so I'm directing myself.

You should always go where there is a 'you-shaped' hole in the world.

My mom said the term heavy petting existed a lot when she was in high school.

I thought I wanted to be a journalist or a novelist.

I felt like my parents were always involved with abstraction, and I wanted to do something very specific.
