What I always think about when I think about 'Girls' is Lena being in a scene where she's very vulnerable, possibly directing, acting, and she's probably written the dialogue. It's 2 in the morning.

When we worked on 'Girls,' we've had some really meaningful dialogue with our fans and with critics and really learned a lot of things.
