More quotes by Lena Dunham
For anyone that has ever done a sex scene, it takes on the feeling of learning a ridiculous dance, like the electric slide. It's not a sexy experience.
Lena Dunham
The male capacity for turning the negative into a compliment is really alarming.
Lena Dunham
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.
Lena Dunham
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.
Lena Dunham
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
I always thought the saddest feeling in life is when you're dancing in a really joyful way and then you hit your head on something.
Lena Dunham
My shape reminds me a lot of my grandmother, whom I was really close to. She died when I was 13, and we have a really similar body type, the squat New England woman who can roll out dough and bring in your lawnmower. That's kind of the vibe of my body, and I'm into it.
Lena Dunham
My weight fluctuates depending on my mood and my current devotion to my fitness routine.
Lena Dunham
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.
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
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
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
My fears came true: People called me fat and hideous, and I lived. And now I keep living.
Lena Dunham
What a snarky jerk. (Obviously, I later slept with him.)
Lena Dunham
I’m not super thin, but I’m thin, for like, Detroit
Lena Dunham
Part of being a feminist is giving other women the freedom to make choices you might not necessarily make yourself.
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
The parts I enjoy playing aren't really available to me. So I have to write them.
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
My dad finds Twitter just infinitely unrelatable. He's like, 'Why would I want to tell anybody what I had for a snack, it's private?!' And I'm like, 'Why would you even have a snack if you didn't tell anybody? Why bother eating?'
Lena Dunham
