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.

More From Lena Dunham

There were two recording studios in bellingham. one was really expensive, a "nice studio." we were at the point where we were young and irreverent. we would scoff at the idea of a nice studio. "why would you want to go to a nice studio? oh wow, they have really expensive gear. ooh, that's really fancy. well we've got an eight-track. we've got it going on here." now that we have the resources, we're like, "oh wow, a nice studio is pretty nice! they do have nice outboards here. it's actually a pretty good place." it's funny how much changes so quickly.
Nice Irreverent
My whole life at a certain point was studio, hotel, stage, hotel, stage, studio, stage, hotel, studio, stage. i was expressing everything from my past, everything that i had experienced prior to that studio stage time, and it was like you have to go back to the well, in order to give someone something to drink. i felt like a cistern, dried up and like there was nothing more. and it was so beautiful.
Beautiful Past Order
With patient and firm determination, i am going to press on for jobs. i'm going to press on for equality. i'm going to press on for the sake of our children. i'm going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. i don't have time to feel sorry for myself. i don't have time to complain. i am going to press on.
Inspirational Determination Jobs
When we live apart from god, our lives get out of tune - out of harmony with others and with god. but if we live in tune with the master, we, too, will find ourselves surrounded by his beautiful music. as this new year begins, ask god to help you tune your life every day to his word, so you can bring harmony and joy to those around you.
Beautiful New Year Years
I think the media has got into this enquirer mentality. years ago, legitimate press didn't really concern itself with sordid details of people's personal lives. that wasn't the focus. but also a lot of celebrities were bullied into revealing this breakup or tragedy or divorce or problem. they started to talk about it and the press just started to talk about people's private lives. that just seems to be the norm.
Breakup Divorce Thinking
Each pursues his private interest and only his private interest; and thereby serves the private interests of all, the general interest, without willing it or knowing it. the real point is not that each individual's pursuit of his private interest promotes the totality of private interests, the general interest. one could just as well deduce from this abstract phrase that each individual reciprocally blocks the assertion of the others' interests, so that, instead of a general affirmation, this war of all against all produces a general negation.

In the mornings i used to say goodbye to my wife like someone going to work. i'd leave the house, walk around a few blocks, and come back like a person arriving at the office.
Goodbye Morning Block
If i've got writer's block it generally means that i don't have that much to say or something's not quite connecting. i have had writer's block a bunch of times and it's generally because i'm not able to write down what i'm feeling basically. mostly, i just need to be alone really, or be with someone who can bring that out of me.
