Can you make yourself love? Can you make yourself loved? -Lena Kaligaris
I just want Tina Fey to be my best friend. And Lena Dunham. And Oprah, too.
Come with me. It's so much better than coming alone. (Lucan whispered to Lena)
I need to talk to Lena" There it was. I'd finally said it. The one thing that had kept me from being able to exhale all day. The thing that had made me feel like I couldn't sit down, like I couldn't stay. Like I had to get up and go somewhere, even if I had nowhere to go.
Lena Smoothed her hair. "Crazy weather you have down here.
I don't love you, Lena. Do you hear me? I never love you.
People like Ella Fitzgerald, Lena Horne, Marlene Dietrich and Sammy Davis Jr. all walked me down this path of entertainment.
Sarah: "Not bad. You look almost human. " Lena: "Thanks. " Sarah: "I said almost. " Lena: "Well, then, almost thanks.
There was a choice to be made, and Lena hadn't made it. The songs never lied. At least, they hadn't yet.
She was my destination. I was always on the way to Lena, even when I wasn't. Even when she wasn't on her way to me.
Lena Horne is the sweetest and most adorable woman in the world.
Because if it weren’t for me, Lena and Alex would never have been caught at all. I told on them. I was jealous.
It was pretty obvious Lena wanted to be asked. Another mysterious thing about girls- they want to be asked to stuff even if they don't want to go.
Nobody's ever gonna hold [ Lena Dunham] accountable. She's a liberal and she's a woman and so she's doubly indemnified against any serious analysis of what the hell she says or thinks. It's a clear example of the double standard out there.
It was so silly to try to define things by words. What did one person mean by infatuation or obsession and another mean by love. The whole thing couldn't be tidied away with neat little labels. " - Lena Gray
Running to stand still -Lena
The old Lena is dead.
Lena Dunham or Miranda July, those people are sort of thinking about their work in a slightly different way than I do, where their whole body is a seed of what they're creating. I can't imagine watching Miranda's movies with anybody else playing her role, she's so integral. But for me, it feels more like every story is really individual. If I thought of something else, or thought it should be my body representing it, I'd fold my body into it. But most of the time I'm writing to get something out of my body.
I think I'd rather have my heart broke than do the breaking. —Lena
Her vision of the world under the water represented a beautiful stillness, a version of heaven. It was the lost city of Lena, her alternate universe, the life she yearned for but didn't get to have.
