More quotes by Lena Dunham

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 don't want to get married until all gay people can get married.
Lena Dunham
But I am a girl with a keen interest in having it all, and what follows are hopeful dispatches from the frontlines of that struggle.
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'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
But I want to tell my stories, more than that, I have to in order to stay sane.
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
You should always go where there is a 'you-shaped' hole in the world.
