“I know I play into that image out there, but I try to say it is a fantasy. I look at my own pictures and wish I could look like that.

“It's like aversion therapy. You keep doing scenes over and over again with three women in the bed with you, and we had to do them all in one week. Three girls would step out and another three girls would step into the bed. It sounds like a fantasy but by the end of it, I just wanted to go for a hike on my own in the north of England, in the hills. Because it became a sort of "be careful what you wish for" kinda thing.” EndsWantedGirlThreeWishSoundMy OwnStepsFantasyWeekSceneBedEnglandCarefulHillsTherapyBe CarefulAversionCareful What You Wish For Author:Steve Coogan

“I guess I'm interested in the behind-the-surface feelings of the human condition, in my own way. I was always struck by the gap - at least in the books I was reading - between what people tell stories about and what I actually feel.

“The only time I felt like a weird exploiter - even though I knew I wasn't one - was when I was writing a sex scene between me and my adorable co-star [Adam Driver] in which he had to tell me how much he loved my potbelly. It seemed like a weird wish-fulfillment thing, where I'm directing my own fantasy.” WritingWishStarsSexFeltMy OwnFantasySceneFulfillmentDriversAdamOnly TimeAdorable Author:Lena Dunham
