More quotes by Lena Dunham
The parts I enjoy playing aren't really available to me. So I have to write them.
Lena Dunham
I seriously consider television to be the people's medium.
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 thinking particularly of a shower I took where the lower half of my body was under the running water and the upper half was laid out on the bath mat, eating a loaf of bread.
Lena Dunham
The work that's interesting to me in other people is really confessional.
Lena Dunham
I find it really awkward to do a scene where I'm supposed to seem like I'm in love.
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
You can't force other people to like you and you just kind of have to ride the wave. I think I could have saved myself a lot of sleepless nights with that advice.
Lena Dunham
I don't want to get married until all gay people can get married.
Lena Dunham
Let's be reasonable and add an eighth day to the week that is devoted exclusively to reading.
Lena Dunham

Lena Dunham
You should always go where there is a 'you-shaped' hole in the world.
Lena Dunham
None of my actions have ever sort of been motored by the search for a husband or wondering if I was going to have a family someday or wanting to live in a really great house or thinking it would be really great to have a diamond.
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
But I want to tell my stories, more than that, I have to in order to stay sane.
Lena Dunham
I would go to work from 9 to 6, go home, nap for two hours, then write from 8 to 2 a.m.
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
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 took Forever [by Judy Blume] to the bathroom to read [when I was eight] and then I heard my mom coming so I stuck it under the toilet and went running out. And I went back later to check for it. And it was gone.
