Lena Dunham
Enjoy going through life as yourself.
Lena Dunham
I thought I wanted to be a journalist or a novelist.

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 find it really awkward to do a scene where I'm supposed to seem like I'm in love.
Lena Dunham
Part of being a feminist is giving other women the freedom to make choices you might not necessarily make yourself.
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
I love directing scenes that I'm not in because suddenly I really feel like a filmmaker which is a different thing.
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
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
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 think we all feel that way when we're young we don't think teachers have lives. We don't think therapists have lives. We don't think doctors have lives.
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
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
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
This weird pressure that mothers are put under, like this idea that if you can't breastfeed, you're not doing something properly, or if you choose not to.
Lena Dunham
I think that it's very important to be with someone who makes you feel like the best version of yourself. In some sense, your partner is a mirror, and you have to like what they're reflecting back at you.
