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.

More quotes by Lena Dunham
I think some people are really connected to who they were as children. And some people aren't.
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
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
I seriously consider television to be the people's medium.
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 find it really awkward to do a scene where I'm supposed to seem like I'm in love.
Lena Dunham
It was only when I started making short films in college and I was looking for girls to play the me-ish parts that I thought, Well, maybe I'm just going to try doing this myself before somebody else comes in and handles it. For a long time my acting was just a marriage of convenience between me and these characters that I was writing.
Lena Dunham
I'm not jealous in traditional ways - of boyfriends or babies or bank accounts - but I do covet other women's styles of being.
Lena Dunham
When someone anonymous tells me I'm fat, that's not a person to me. If they're not going to acknowledge me as a person, I'm certainly not going to acknowledge them as a person.
Lena Dunham
I love flawed female characters, duking it out.
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
Don't put yourself in situations you'd like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself.
Lena Dunham
I think that as our country becomes more tolerant as a whole of certain things, hopefully becomes more tolerant, there's a way that certain kinds of bullying will be passe and unacceptable.
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
Throughout the day I often ask myself, Could I fall asleep right now? and the answer is always a resounding yes.
Lena Dunham
My uncle's a lawyer and I remember going to see him in court and thinking, 'That's cool, too bad I could never be a lawyer.'
Lena Dunham
I've always loved my own little office spaces no matter what they were like. It's the Virginia Woolf, room of one's own concept, it's really important.
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
I never sort of thought of myself as a comedy writer, by nature.
