More quotes by Lena Dunham
I am comforted by the fact that I find a real range of female bodies beautiful, and I hope that other people do too. And even if they don't find it beautiful I hope they're just glad that something like it is happening on TV.
Lena Dunham
We both followed our hearts and had no choice but to hurt each other deeply.
Lena Dunham
That's the feeling [of relativity] I always had about [Judy Blume] books which I re-read and re-read and re-read.
Lena Dunham
Scandal has made wine and popcorn seem like a viable, even healthful, meal.
Lena Dunham
I think about my best friendship - which the Marnie-Hannah friendship in Girls is based on - as like a great romance of my young life.
Lena Dunham
But I am a girl with a keen interest in having it all, and what follows are hopeful dispatches from the frontlines of that struggle.

Positive, healthy, loving relationships in your twenties... I don't know if anyone would disagree with it: I think they're the exception, not the norm.

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
I wish that author [ E. L. James] all the success in the world. It's just not for me.
Lena Dunham
I can never be who I was. I can simply watch her with sympathy, understanding, and some measure of awe. There she goes, backpack on, headed for the subway or the airport. She did her best with her eyeliner. She learned a new word she wants to try out on you. She is ambling along. She is looking for it.
Lena Dunham
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.
Lena Dunham
My relationship to eating, my relationship to critiquing my own shape, all of that has changed since I've started viewing my body much more as a tool to do my work.
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
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
But I want to tell my stories, more than that, I have to in order to stay sane.
Lena Dunham
I've been a little haphazard about how nude I get, and the only thing that keeps me from getting anxious about it is that I've had complete control over it.
Lena Dunham
I get a lot of unasked for sexual confessions.
Lena Dunham
As a woman who doesn't necessarily fit the beauty standard in Hollywood... I really related to the narrative of looking for something you felt comfortable in that would properly express your identity, especially when your identity didn't feel like it necessarily matched the one that was being imposed on you.
Lena Dunham
I have work, and then I have a dinner thing. And then I am busy, trying to become who I am.
Lena Dunham
I never set out to make any statements about a specific character, I just set out to tell what feels like is a truthful story, a person that you and I might truly encounter.
Lena Dunham
