More quotes by 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
There's people who don't want to see bodies like mine or bodies like their own bodies.
Lena Dunham
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
My relationship to eating, my relationship to critiquing my own shape, all of that has changed since I've started viewing my body much more as a tool to do my work.
Lena Dunham
I find it really awkward to do a scene where I'm supposed to seem like I'm in love.
Lena Dunham
Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl, I was trying.
Lena Dunham
I always say that I can play sort of six variations on one girl, all of whom are a variation on me. Maybe I'll think of myself as an actor if, like, I do a corset drama.
Lena Dunham
I probably I went into my room alone [when I was six] and I was just like, how have I even, how can I even continue on this earth with this terrible, terrible knowledge [about sex].
Lena Dunham
I kind of look like every other girl walking around.
Lena Dunham
Now if you went to someone's house to look for them, you would be a psychopath.
Lena Dunham
I get a lot of unasked for sexual confessions.
Lena Dunham
You don't need to be flamboyant in your life to be flamboyant in your work.
Lena Dunham
I think that people in the phase between being someone's kid and being someone's parent have always been uniquely narcissistic, but that social media and Twitter and LiveJournal make it really easy to navel-gaze in a way that you've never been able to before.
Lena Dunham
Don't wait around for someone else to tell your story. Do it yourself by whatever means necessary.
Lena Dunham
I think that social networking makes people more connected, yet more distant, so there are people with less ties to real friend groups and less a sense of self.
Lena Dunham
We're the last f - ing people who have a f - ing opinion on what you should do with your body. Anything that makes your day easier, as long as you're not feeding your baby crack in milk, is really good by us.
Lena Dunham
Positive, healthy, loving relationships in your twenties... I don't know if anyone would disagree with it: I think they're the exception, not the norm. People are either playing house really aggressively because they're scared of what an uncertain time it is, or they're avoiding commitment altogether.
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
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
I think that as our country becomes more tolerant as a whole of certain things, hopefully becomes more tolerant, there's a way that certain kinds of bullying will be passe and unacceptable.
