I felt like my parents were always involved with abstraction, and I wanted to do something very specific.
Lena Dunham
I’m not super thin, but I’m thin, for like, Detroit

My dad finds Twitter just infinitely unrelatable. He's like, 'Why would I want to tell anybody what I had for a snack, it's private?!' And I'm like, 'Why would you even have a snack if you didn't tell anybody? Why bother eating?'

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.

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
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
You can't give any exciting speech without misremembering things.
Lena Dunham
I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.
Lena Dunham
Basically, anything a sexual predator might do to woo a small suburban girl, I was trying.
Lena Dunham

Lena Dunham
Enjoy going through life as yourself.
Lena Dunham
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. People are either playing house really aggressively because they're scared of what an uncertain time it is, or they're avoiding commitment altogether.
Lena Dunham
We're the last f - ing people who have a f - ing opinion on what you should do with your body. Anything that makes your day easier, as long as you're not feeding your baby crack in milk, is really good by us.
Lena Dunham
