“I don’t think I have that in me.” — Lena Dunham
“I’m not going to make the Polly Pocket movie,” Dunham said. “I wrote a script, and I was working on it for three years. But I remember someone once said to me about Nancy Meyers: the thing that’s the most amazing about her is that the movie she makes or the movie she would be making with or without a studio, with or without notes — that somehow her taste manages to intersect perfectly with what the world wants. What a f–king gift that is.
“And I just — I felt like, unless I can do it that way, I’m not going to do it. I don’t think I have that in me. I feel like the next movie I make needs to feel like a movie that I absolutely have to make. No one but me could make it. And I did think other people could make ‘Polly Pocket.’”She’s got one series called “Too Much,” which is an autobiographical rom-com starring Megan Stalter. It follows a New York-based woman who moves to London after a break up, and meets a musician .
Dunham told the outlet that she’s not casting herself as the lead, the way she did on her HBO show “Girls.” “I was not willing to have another experience like what I’d experienced around ‘Girls’ at this point in my life,” Dunham said. dissected again. It was a hard choice, not to cast Meg — because I knew I wanted Meg — but to admit that to myself.”
Dunham added, “I used to think that winning meant you just keep doing it and you don’t care what anybody thinks. I forgot that winning is actually just protecting yourself and doing what you need to do to keep making work.
