Lena Dunham and Lorde Interviewed Together

Lena Dunham and Lorde both sat down for an interview with Dazed, where they talked about friendships post-stardom. The publication quotes them as follows:

Lorde:

"With any transition you do lose people, which is sad, but some people don’t want to deal with what you’re doing or it freaks them out a bit," she explained. "So there are people I’m not as close to now, but I still roll deep with my original dudes so it’s good... I have a lot of dude friends. I was kind of the camp mother of all the guys.... I feel like teenage boys, all their emotions are really simple and diluted. Teenage girls feel everything so intensely and are so multi-faceted. Boys are just like, they’ll rest a head on your shoulder and you know exactly what that means."

Dunham:
"Speaking of camp mother, I feel that Taylor [Swift] has really taken control and said, 'I'm going to get us all together in the same place, I'm gonna make it very clear that friendship is powerful and women are magic and if anybody thinks this is a witches’ coven they might be right. She’s just made it her job in a very cool way."

Lorde, on Taylor Swift:
"She definitely brought me into this amazing world of supportive female friendship," the "Royals" singer said. "For me, someone starts talking about boys and I'm like, 'I just don’t know what to say.' I'm useless in that capacity and that was why I thought, 'Well, I can't have girl friends [because] I don't know how to talk about boys.' But Taylor just glosses over the fact that I'm terrible at that and she’s just like, 'It's okay, I'll love you for your other qualities.'"
