I'm glad if my work can make a difference.

You have to move so you don't die. You have to move so your brain doesn't atrophy. You have to move so that you look a little bit like a person that you might want to be. There are a thousand reasons why exercise is important, and I've had to find ways to make it sexy for myself.

Lena Dunham

I felt highly anxious in a way that I didn't think other children were.
Lena Dunham
Image
A girl's night for me is with a member of my family on the couch, eating takeout, watching something good, going to sleep early, it's so boring, but it's just what I need!
Lena Dunham
Image
I spent all my time on my movies worried that people were eating and that the schedule was being kept, so to have experts in those areas giving me the brain space as a writer and director is huge.
Lena Dunham
Image
I think about my best friendship - which the Marnie-Hannah friendship in Girls is based on - as like a great romance of my young life.
Lena Dunham
Image
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
Image
It's okay to change your mind. About a feeling, a person, a promise of love.
Lena Dunham
Image
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
Image
I've always had a talent for recognizing when I am in a moment worth being nostalgic for.
Lena Dunham
Image
We both followed our hearts and had no choice but to hurt each other deeply.
