More quotes by Lena Dunham
Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl, I was trying.
Lena Dunham
It's okay to change your mind. About a feeling, a person, a promise of love.
Lena Dunham
I'm really lucky because my sister is a real activist soul and also hyper-intellectualized in this way that's really allowed me to wrap my mind around some of the bigger intellectual concepts and really understand the language around identity in the gender nonconforming community.
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
You have to move so you don't die. You have to move so your brain doesn't atrophy. You have to move so that you look a little bit like a person that you might want to be. There are a thousand reasons why exercise is important, and I've had to find ways to make it sexy for myself.
Lena Dunham
You don't need to be flamboyant in your life to be flamboyant in your work.
Lena Dunham
It doesn't occur to so many people that if you don't have a clear heterosexual, gender confirming identity that there are parts of day-to-day life - like using a bathroom or getting your clothes - that just aren't going to be as easy.
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
I'm always having to be told to brush my hair.
Lena Dunham
I'm so in awe of what visual artists do and I do understand the differences of what visual artists do. I have a small art collection I hope to expand.
Lena Dunham
My fears came true: People called me fat and hideous, and I lived. And now I keep living.
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
Don't put yourself in situations you'd like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself.
Lena Dunham
It's really hard to grow with another person.
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 say that I can play sort of six variations on one girl, all of whom are a variation on me. Maybe I'll think of myself as an actor if, like, I do a corset drama.
Lena Dunham
Hell hath no fury like a woman who has accidentally napped.
Lena Dunham
The current economic climate means getting out of college is no guarantee of getting a job, and no guarantee of a satisfying work life. My Dad feels that this is the first generation of Americans that expects that there children will have a harder time then they did. That's a fascinating concept.
Lena Dunham
Let's be reasonable and add an eighth day to the week that is devoted exclusively to reading.
Lena Dunham
What a snarky jerk. (Obviously, I later slept with him.)
