So excited to see Lena on the cover of Marie Claire UK. (So, I may stalk her a little on instagram.)
"I always feel that there are two choices for women," Dunham says. "Either be totally confident about your non-size-zero body and say, 'I love what I look like and this is who I am,' or be the person who is obsessed with diet and exercise and keeping toned. What feels more realistic to me is that some days I wake up and think I love how I look. On other days I say, 'If I had real self-control, I would be 10 pounds lighter.' That contradiction is, to me, what being a girl actually feels like."
I love how she talks about bodies, and confidence, and everything!
ReplyDeleteOh man if you stalk her on Instagram we are totally tag teaming that shit. I love her. I remember watching tiny furniture, and the first episodes of Girls and being so astonished to see something that I could relate to so clearly. I loved that she said that she couldn't see bodies on tv that she related to, because I feel so the same way. It's funny, when I showed my boyfriend Girls and a Hannah sex scene came on, he noted how there was so little work for women like her on tv. I said "I know, she knows, that's why she makes her own. That's show creator Lena Dunham" and he was so damn impressed. Just silence. That girl rocks my world.
ReplyDeleteI love Lena and Girls and really aught to get caught up on Season 2! Thanks for the reminder!
