Lena Dunham rose to fame with her hit show Girls before stepping way from acting and shifting her focus towards writing and directing.

The 39-year-old has now opened up about her decision to invest all her time and energy in directing.

Lena’s new show Too Much explores the issues that she has dealt with in her own life.

“It’s about your appetite for food, your appetite for life, your wants, your needs, your desires", she explained.
