I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.
Lena Dunham
Image
The work that's interesting to me in other people is really confessional.
Lena Dunham
Image
I had no clue what anyone was talking about like, you know I don't think I, I don't think any of the depictions of sex were more to me than just like an image of two people's arms rubbing together [when I was eight], I just had no clue.
Lena Dunham
Image
I think that it's very important to be with someone who makes you feel like the best version of yourself. In some sense, your partner is a mirror, and you have to like what they're reflecting back at you.
Lena Dunham
Image
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
Image
Luxury is nice, but creativity is nicer.
Lena Dunham
Image
I'm so in awe of what visual artists do and I do understand the differences of what visual artists do. I have a small art collection I hope to expand.
Lena Dunham
Image
I had always written. I had written stories and poems. Then I started writing plays.

Image
You can't give any exciting speech without misremembering things.
Lena Dunham
Image
I never set out to make any statements about a specific character, I just set out to tell what feels like is a truthful story, a person that you and I might truly encounter.
Lena Dunham
Image
I've never thought of myself as an actor, so somebody recognizing me for that would be a real shock.
Lena Dunham
Image
I frustrate myself as a writer. There are certain things that I'll think, 'Well, that would be really fun to play... if somebody else was playing this character.'
Lena Dunham
Image
I felt highly anxious in a way that I didn't think other children were.
Lena Dunham
Image
I'm glad if my work can make a difference.
Lena Dunham
Image
I think women are conditioned to stand by their man and watch them make it to the top, but most men never believe the person they get into a relationship with is going to rise any higher than she was when they met. It takes a very special, evolved person to be able to deal with change within a relationship.

I’m not super thin, but I’m thin, for like, Detroit
Lena Dunham
Image
If a young woman is looking at the landscape of Hollywood, what she sees is almost only challenges.
Lena Dunham
Image
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
Image
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.

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.
