More quotes by 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
My dad once told me that he would rather I had an old boyfriend than a tall boyfriend. I don't know why, I think he's just feels stressed by... He' not that short I just think the idea of a really tall guy is super anxiety producing to him. And now I'm with neither old guy nor a very tall guy. So everything has worked out perfectly.
Lena Dunham
But I want to tell my stories, more than that, I have to in order to stay sane.
Lena Dunham
I think that social networking makes people more connected, yet more distant, so there are people with less ties to real friend groups and less a sense of self.
Lena Dunham
I feel like a lot of the female relationships I see on TV or in movies are in some way free of the kind of jealousy and anxiety and posturing that has been such a huge part of my female friendships, which I hope lessens a little bit with age.
Lena Dunham
I thought I was really a radical, political person, which of course I am not.
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 feel prettier with a naked face and ChapStick. But a good haircut makes a huge difference.
Lena Dunham
There's people who don't want to see bodies like mine or bodies like their own bodies.
Lena Dunham
My weight fluctuates depending on my mood and my current devotion to my fitness routine.
Lena Dunham
Calling someone a drama queen is so negative. Why not 'content creator'?
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
It's almost like when you're young, your friends take on the romance role, and then guys take on the role of your friends later.
Lena Dunham
I've always had a talent for recognizing when I am in a moment worth being nostalgic for.
Lena Dunham
It's okay to change your mind. About a feeling, a person, a promise of love.
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 am thinking particularly of a shower I took where the lower half of my body was under the running water and the upper half was laid out on the bath mat, eating a loaf of bread.
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
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
There are so many reactions to art that make sense to me - but 'ick' means something.
Lena Dunham
