More quotes by Lena Dunham
Scandal has made wine and popcorn seem like a viable, even healthful, meal.
Lena Dunham
When we, as young women, are given the space to read, the act becomes a happy, private corner we can return to for the rest of our lives. We develop this love of reading by turning to stories that speak to the most special, secret parts of us.
Lena Dunham
It's okay to change your mind. About a feeling, a person, a promise of love.
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
I also really like to read good books and I don't have enough time to do it. So it's really hard for me to imagine willingly submitting myself to a trilogy of books that I've been told are at the fourth grade reading level which isn't a very nice thing to say but.
Lena Dunham
Things that feel super personal actually feel really universal. It's sort of the more you really identify something specific within yourself, the more people connect to it because ultimately we are all connected in some way.
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
I get a lot of unasked for sexual confessions.
Lena Dunham
Aren't most of us dealing with the fact that we have moms who either weren't ready to be moms or had some level of resentment about it? Everybody is dealing with the different iteration of pain their mom has handed them.
Lena Dunham
I spent all my time on my movies worried that people were eating and that the schedule was being kept, so to have experts in those areas giving me the brain space as a writer and director is huge.
Lena Dunham
Enjoy going through life as yourself.
Lena Dunham
I used to think Twitter was a waste of time and sort of ran counter to my ability to be productive and to write and now Twitter feels like a really cool part of the creative experience.
Lena Dunham
For straight, hetero people it's very easy to unintentionally say something that might not honor people's identities fully, and Grace Dunham is a really amazing educational resource.
Lena Dunham
The current economic climate means getting out of college is no guarantee of getting a job, and no guarantee of a satisfying work life. My Dad feels that this is the first generation of Americans that expects that there children will have a harder time then they did. That's a fascinating concept.
Lena Dunham
Mine's [fans] a lot of like weird guys in prison. So I don't need to answer them.
Lena Dunham
It doesn't occur to so many people that if you don't have a clear heterosexual, gender confirming identity that there are parts of day-to-day life - like using a bathroom or getting your clothes - that just aren't going to be as easy.
Lena Dunham
Survivors are so often re-victimized by a system that demands they prove their purity and innocence.
Lena Dunham
I love flawed female characters, duking it out.
Lena Dunham
I thought I was really a radical, political person, which of course I am not.
Lena Dunham
The end never comes when you think it will. It's always ten steps past the worst moment, then a weird turn to the left.
