Lena Dunham Reveals How She Keeps Fame From Feeling "Gross"

Jan 6 2015 - 10:20am

Girls star and creator Lena Dunham covers Elle's February 2015 Women in TV issue [1]. Opening up about fame and life in the public eye, Lena explained how she tries to use her celebrity in a positive way. "I realized early on that I was not going to be able to have a comfortable relationship with celebrity if I didn't feel like I was using it to talk about things that were important to me," she said. "It was always going to make me feel gross, for lack of a better word. I was like, 'Oh, this attention is something I'm going to figure out how to use in a way that feels productive, healthy, and smart. And not just like as an excuse to collect handbags.' Although, I love handbags." Lena, who's kicking off the New Year as a brunette [2], stepped out this week for the Girls season four premiere [3], as the new season starts in February. Get a glimpse of Girls' fourth season [4], and check out the full Lena Dunham feature in Elle's February 2015 issue [5], which hits newsstands on Jan. 13.
