More quotes by Lena Dunham

Image
I thought I wanted to be a journalist or a novelist.
Lena Dunham
Image
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.

Image
It's really hard to grow with another person.
Lena Dunham
Image
I feel prettier with a naked face and ChapStick. But a good haircut makes a huge difference.
Lena Dunham
Image
Enjoy going through life as yourself.
Lena Dunham
Image
Every time I start feeling sexy I trip.
Lena Dunham
Image
It's not brave to do something that doesn't scare you. Performing in sex scenes that I direct, exposing a flash of my weird puffy nipple, those things don't fall into my zone of terror.
Lena Dunham
Image
I love flawed female characters, duking it out.
Lena Dunham
Image
I find it really awkward to do a scene where I'm supposed to seem like I'm in love.
Lena Dunham
Image
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.

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.

At my age, no one is married, no one has kids, no one has a career.
Lena Dunham
Image
You don't need to be flamboyant in your life to be flamboyant in your work.
Lena Dunham
Image
I would rather spend my entire life doing nothing than have my name attached to something mediocre.
Lena Dunham
Image
Here's who it's okay to share a bed with: . . . A heating pad. An empty bag of pita chips. The love of your life.
Lena Dunham
Image
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
Image
I feel like you don't know if someone's equipped for a romantic relationship until they're out of their twenties.
Lena Dunham
Image
I kind of look like every other girl walking around.

One of my favorite facts about Jason [Benjamin] is that he collects shirts from tattoo parlors. He has a bunch of tattoo parlor T-shirts, but no tattoos. And then he wears, like, vans and jeans. My boyfriend said he looks like a modern Bruce Springsteen, which is a pretty high compliment.

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.
