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.

More quotes by Lena Dunham
My fears came true: People called me fat and hideous, and I lived. And now I keep living.
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 sometimes want to make a book of every tattoo I wanted to get before I actually got a tattoo, because there were so many awful ideas and concepts.
Lena Dunham
For anyone that has ever done a sex scene, it takes on the feeling of learning a ridiculous dance, like the electric slide. It's not a sexy experience.
Lena Dunham
Hell hath no fury like a woman who has accidentally napped.
Lena Dunham
I would have specific books [when I was 12 or 13] that had pages that I knew had sex on them that I would go and read.
Lena Dunham
I'm glad if my work can make a difference.

Barbie’s disfigured. It’s fine to play with her just as long as you keep that in mind.
Lena Dunham
I do think girls in their twenties accept certain kinds of lesser treatment than they would at other times in their lives.
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
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 think women are conditioned to stand by their man and watch them make it to the top, but most men never believe the person they get into a relationship with is going to rise any higher than she was when they met. It takes a very special, evolved person to be able to deal with change within a relationship.
Lena Dunham
My sister is bold, independent, and not afraid to wear overalls. Some of her first words as a child were that's not fair, and she's been committed to social justice ever since. She's my hero.
Lena Dunham
I remember asking my mom, Do you think that I will ever have enough money to live outside of your house? And she would be like, You just never know.
Lena Dunham
Basically my new litmus test for people is, do they make me hear about a blow job they gave in the first ten minutes of us talking? And if they didn't then I can feel excited.
Lena Dunham
I thought I wanted to be a journalist or a novelist.
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
But I also think when we embark on intimate relationships, we make a basic human promise to be decent, to hold a flattering mirror up to each other, to be respectful as we explore each other.
Lena Dunham
I'm always afraid that I'm being unprofessional, yet I continue to sign all my e-mails 'xoxo.'
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.'
