More quotes by Lena Dunham
When we, as young women, are given the space to read, the act becomes a happy, private corner we can return to for the rest of our lives. We develop this love of reading by turning to stories that speak to the most special, secret parts of us.
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’m not super thin, but I’m thin, for like, Detroit
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
Barbie’s disfigured. It’s fine to play with her just as long as you keep that in mind.
Lena Dunham
Here's what I have to say about being married: someday you will look at him, hating him with every fibre of your being, wishing that he would die the most violent death possible. It will pass.
Lena Dunham
I should do the things that make me feel cool and smart. As I get older, I'm realizing more and more that it doesn't really matter if I'm good at it, it just matters that I try. My own effort, my own willingness, are becoming what's appealing to me.
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 still go to a party and say something embarrassing to someone, and then write them a weird e-mail about it the next day, and then write them a text because I think they didn't get the e-mail. No matter what happens with your level of success, you still have to deal with all the baggage that is yourself.
Lena Dunham
I feel like you don't know if someone's equipped for a romantic relationship until they're out of their twenties.
Lena Dunham
I would be a horrible girlfriend at this point in my life, because I’m both needy and unavailable.
Lena Dunham
Don't wait around for someone else to tell your story. Do it yourself by whatever means necessary.
Lena Dunham
Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl, I was trying.
Lena Dunham
Now if you went to someone's house to look for them, you would be a psychopath.
Lena Dunham
You’ve learned a new rule and it’s simple: don’t put yourself in situations you’d like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself, like that bunny in Runaway Bunny runs to its mother, but you are the mother and you’ll see that later and be very, very proud.
Lena Dunham
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
You know, I always think of myself as sort of ready for every criticism.
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
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
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
