Lena Dunham
The male capacity for turning the negative into a compliment is really alarming.
Lena Dunham
When it's low-budget, and you have one other person on the set, you have to make rules.
Lena Dunham
What a snarky jerk. (Obviously, I later slept with him.)
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
