More quotes by Lena Dunham
I can’t imagine a passionate affair with a native man
Lena Dunham
It was only when I started making short films in college and I was looking for girls to play the me-ish parts that I thought, Well, maybe I'm just going to try doing this myself before somebody else comes in and handles it. For a long time my acting was just a marriage of convenience between me and these characters that I was writing.
Lena Dunham
I love directing scenes that I'm not in because suddenly I really feel like a filmmaker which is a different thing.
Lena Dunham
I've always loved my own little office spaces no matter what they were like. It's the Virginia Woolf, room of one's own concept, it's really important.
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.
Lena Dunham
I would have specific books [when I was 12 or 13] that had pages that I knew had sex on them that I would go and read.
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 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
I feel like a lot of the female relationships I see on TV or in movies are in some way free of the kind of jealousy and anxiety and posturing that has been such a huge part of my female friendships, which I hope lessens a little bit with age.
Lena Dunham
It’s interesting to see how other people react to an oversharer.
Lena Dunham
The male capacity for turning the negative into a compliment is really alarming.
Lena Dunham
What a snarky jerk. (Obviously, I later slept with him.)
Lena Dunham
Calling someone a drama queen is so negative. Why not 'content creator'?
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
I love flawed female characters, duking it out.
Lena Dunham
I felt like I was a writer, and I just thought filmmaking was the best way for me to express that, because it allows me to embrace the visual world that I love. It's allows me to interact with people, to be more social than fiction or poetry, and it felt like the right way for me to tell the stories that felt pressing to me.
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
When I graduated college I had a series of just humiliating jobs that I couldn't believe I was at.
Lena Dunham
The end never comes when you think it will. It's always ten steps past the worst moment, then a weird turn to the left.
Lena Dunham
For straight, hetero people it's very easy to unintentionally say something that might not honor people's identities fully, and Grace Dunham is a really amazing educational resource.
