5 Lena Dunham quotes that will make you grateful for the birthday girl

Happy 30th birthday, Lena Dunham.

The Girls creator, who has also racked up many writing credits during the HBO series five seasons, has given us a lot of memorable lines as four twenty-somethings tried to maneuver the labyrinth that is adulthood.

When she's not playing Hannah Horvath, Dunham also has a way with words. To celebrate her milestone, here are a few of our favorite quotes from the fierce feminist.

On Amy Schumer’s comments about Glamour-gate:

“I think she was trying to do was stand up for women and say we're not supposed be categorized in this role, we're supposed to just be allowed to exist."

On men body shaming Serena Williams and Ronda Rousey:

"With Serena Williams and Ronda Rousey, men are thinking, ‘You could beat me up, that (expletive) scares me, you have achieved more than I ever will in my lifetime, so I’m going to get online and tell you that you don’t look like someone I want to (expletive).’ That is where I believe it comes from. And it’s so unenlightened.”

On her own body image:

"Another frequently asked question is how I am 'brave' enough to reveal my body on-screen. The subtext there is definitely how am I brave enough to reveal my imperfect body, since I doubt Blake Lively would be subject to the same line of inquiry...My answer is: It's not brave to do something that doesn't scare you. I'd be brave to skydive. To visit a leper colony. To argue a case in the United States Supreme Court or to go to a CrossFit gym."

And:

"I've been a bunch of different weights and being, temporarily, 135 pounds, I was so obsessed with food. I was like so into counting almonds that I don't think I got laid that entire time. Whereas when I was at my biggest and like running around Brooklyn in a romper, it was raining men."

On the monotony of Hollywood:

"It's an odd irony that the entertainment industry, which sets the cultural beat and shows so many people the only images of themselves that they will ever see, has done such a sorry job of reflecting the diversity of the country in which we live, and the world that we impact."
