"When I graduated college I had a series of just humiliating jobs that I couldn't believe I was at." — Lena Dunham

I think romantic comedy, when done right, is my favorite genre. It's just a genre that's very human.

I feel like you don't know if someone's equipped for a romantic relationship until they're out of their twenties.

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.

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.
