More quotes by Lena Dunham
It's almost like when you're young, your friends take on the romance role, and then guys take on the role of your friends later.
Lena Dunham
My parents were very supportive when I was growing up and have been all the way through.
Lena Dunham
That's the feeling [of relativity] I always had about [Judy Blume] books which I re-read and re-read and re-read.
Lena Dunham
As a woman who doesn't necessarily fit the beauty standard in Hollywood... I really related to the narrative of looking for something you felt comfortable in that would properly express your identity, especially when your identity didn't feel like it necessarily matched the one that was being imposed on you.
Lena Dunham
I think some people are really connected to who they were as children. And some people aren't.
Lena Dunham
I used to think Twitter was a waste of time and sort of ran counter to my ability to be productive and to write and now Twitter feels like a really cool part of the creative experience.
Lena Dunham
It's very easy for me to say what success is. I think success is connecting with an audience who understands you and having a dialogue with them. I think success is continuing to push yourself forward creatively and not sort of becoming a caricature of yourself.
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 can never be who I was. I can simply watch her with sympathy, understanding, and some measure of awe. There she goes, backpack on, headed for the subway or the airport. She did her best with her eyeliner. She learned a new word she wants to try out on you. She is ambling along. She is looking for it.
Lena Dunham
I'm glad if my work can make a difference.
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
We both followed our hearts and had no choice but to hurt each other deeply.
Lena Dunham
You can't give any exciting speech without misremembering things.
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.
Lena Dunham
I just hope that I continue to keep a line between my private life and who I play, even if they are closely intertwined, and so I'm careful. I don't even know where my line is, but I know I have a line.
Lena Dunham
My fears came true: People called me fat and hideous, and I lived. And now I keep living.
Lena Dunham
It's not that I don't want to hear about that [blow job] stuff, I just want to hear about it immediately. And I want to hear about it on more comfortable terms.
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 sister is bold, independent, and not afraid to wear overalls. Some of her first words as a child were that's not fair, and she's been committed to social justice ever since. She's my hero.
Lena Dunham
I wish that author [ E. L. James] all the success in the world. It's just not for me.
Lena Dunham
