More quotes by Lena Dunham
Survivors are so often re-victimized by a system that demands they prove their purity and innocence.
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 feel like you don't know if someone's equipped for a romantic relationship until they're out of their twenties.
Lena Dunham
It's okay to change your mind. About a feeling, a person, a promise of love.
Lena Dunham
I think some people are really connected to who they were as children. And some people aren't.
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
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
I am comforted by the fact that I find a real range of female bodies beautiful, and I hope that other people do too. And even if they don't find it beautiful I hope they're just glad that something like it is happening on TV.
Lena Dunham
Barbie’s disfigured. It’s fine to play with her just as long as you keep that in mind.
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
I would rather spend my entire life doing nothing than have my name attached to something mediocre.
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
Hell hath no fury like a woman who has accidentally napped.
Lena Dunham
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
Aren't most of us dealing with the fact that we have moms who either weren't ready to be moms or had some level of resentment about it? Everybody is dealing with the different iteration of pain their mom has handed them.
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
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
My parents are artists in their world, in the world of modern artists, you are supposed to just go into your studio and tune everything out, and your entire relationship with your work is supposed to be a super private one. That was the way to do it and you weren't deeply truly artistic if that wasn't the way you were engaging the press.
Lena Dunham
It doesn't occur to so many people that if you don't have a clear heterosexual, gender confirming identity that there are parts of day-to-day life - like using a bathroom or getting your clothes - that just aren't going to be as easy.
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.
