Lena Dunham is looking back at her youth.
The Girls creator reflected on the end of her professional and personal relationship with fellow showrunner Jenni Konner, which began when she was 24-years-old.
“I was extremely naïve about the fact that when you work with people and your creative, financial futures are intertwined, there are going to be moments where that is in tension with friendship,” Lena told The New York Times in an interview published April 13. “I was not an adult. I still lived with my parents, and I was desperately looking for safety and a sense of security and something that felt unconditional.”
However, as the now 39-year-old learned, “Business relationships are conditional. They have to be.”
“I remember my father being like, ‘Not everybody says I love you to everyone they work with and sleeps over at their house,” Lena continued. “As a 40-year-old, I can now recognize that I was looking for a different kind of relationship than the one that work can provide.”
