Lena
Dunham
will
not
be
the
voice—or
main
character—of
this
generation.
Indeed,
the
38-year-old
recently
shared
why
her
experience
starring
in
her
2010s
comedy-drama
Girls
will
keep
her
from
leading
her
new
Netflix
series
Too
Much.
“I
was
not
willing
to
have
another
experience
like
what
I’d
experienced
around
Girls
at
this
point
in
my
life,”
she
explained
to
the
New
Yorker
in
an
interview
published
July
9.
“Physically,
I
was
just
not
up
for
having
my
body
dissected
again.”
And
the
writer,
who
detailed
that
she
suffered
both
physically
and
mentally
while
working
on
Girls,
noted
that
she
instead
wrote
her
new
series—a
somewhat
autobiographical
story
about
a
30-something
American
woman
who
moves
to
England—for
Hacks
star
Meg
Stalter.
“It
was
a
hard
choice,”
she
confessed.
“Not
to
cast
Meg—because
I
knew
I
wanted
Meg—but
to
admit
that
to
myself.
I
used
to
think
that
winning
meant
you
just
keep
doing
it
and
you
don’t
care
what
anybody
thinks.
I
forgot
that
winning
is
actually
just
protecting
yourself
and
doing
what
you
need
to
do
to
keep
making
work.”
