More quotes by Lena Dunham
The work that's interesting to me in other people is really confessional.
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
Don't put yourself in situations you'd like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself.
Lena Dunham
There are so many reactions to art that make sense to me - but 'ick' means something.
Lena Dunham
The only time I felt like a weird exploiter - even though I knew I wasn't one - was when I was writing a sex scene between me and my adorable co-star [Adam Driver] in which he had to tell me how much he loved my potbelly. It seemed like a weird wish-fulfillment thing, where I'm directing my own fantasy.
Lena Dunham
You don't need to be flamboyant in your life to be flamboyant in your work.
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 thought I wanted to be a journalist or a novelist.
Lena Dunham
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.
Lena Dunham
Enjoy going through life as yourself.
Lena Dunham
I think some people are really connected to who they were as children. And some people aren't.
Lena Dunham
I don't really have a place where people can reach me via email because it got a little overwhelming. People tweet things at me like, oh DM me for a great story that you'll definitely need to use on the show, which I don't, you know, DM them.
Lena Dunham
I can’t imagine a passionate affair with a native man
Lena Dunham
I feel prettier with a naked face and ChapStick. But a good haircut makes a huge difference.
Lena Dunham
You can't force other people to like you and you just kind of have to ride the wave. I think I could have saved myself a lot of sleepless nights with that advice.
Lena Dunham
I’m not super thin, but I’m thin, for like, Detroit
Lena Dunham
There’s always an article coming out, saying, ‘The new thing is funny women!’
Lena Dunham
My dad once told me that he would rather I had an old boyfriend than a tall boyfriend. I don't know why, I think he's just feels stressed by... He' not that short I just think the idea of a really tall guy is super anxiety producing to him. And now I'm with neither old guy nor a very tall guy. So everything has worked out perfectly.
Lena Dunham
I'm glad if my work can make a difference.
Lena Dunham
Things that feel super personal actually feel really universal. It's sort of the more you really identify something specific within yourself, the more people connect to it because ultimately we are all connected in some way.
