Perhaps we'll be seeing less of Lena Dunham on screen in the future: The "Girls" talent says she might consider quitting acting to focus on some of her other work.
But don't worry, she's not going far.
"I don't know if I'm going to want to act anymore. I'm always relieved on the days I don't have to. I'd rather give parts to other women than be the woman having the parts," the Golden Globe-winning 27-year-old said in the April issue of Glamour, which hits newsstands March 18.
Appearing in the critically acclaimed HBO series about four 20-something women growing up in New York isn't the only thing on her plate. She created, writes and directs the series, which aired its Season 3 finale on Sunday. The frequently nude actress is also dating fun. musician Jack Antonoff, who has given her perspective on her career and, she said, came into her life during a major turning point.

Seriesly?
She doesn’t like to be “type-cast” as a female?

"Perhaps we'll be seeing less of Lena Dunham on screen in the future" How can that be a bad thing?

If I were lucky enough to have a major role on a cable TV show, I would at least attempt to keep the weight off. :)

There’s nothing red-blooded, conservative males like more than watching shows about whiny, lib women and their problems. (snicker) Actually, I wonder if any conservative women watch this show and can give us a reason for watching it. I get HBO, but I just don’t want to put in the effort.

In this picture, the Freightliner is on the right.

Typecast?
Lena, honey, you write your own part on that show of yours that I’ve never watched.
If anyone is typecasting you, it’s you.
I think it maybe time to up your prescription.

She’s got more cottage cheese than a Jason’s deli.

Once you are typecast as a manatee, and you are a manatee, it is hard to break the mold.

In this case, I agree with the Muslims.
She needs a burkha.

I don’t hear her complaining that men are always typecast as being stupid. Sounds like a one-note symphony to me.

I spent 6 months in a company full of those losers. I finally just quit and got a new job the next week.

A Janine Garofolo wanna be...the type to bully themselves into relevance.

There was a time when people like this did not appear on the cover of Vogue or in Glamour magazine....I wish I lived in those times....at least my eyes do.
