A lot of the time, really, creative people should just be in their corner creating.

They shouldn't be the one who's talking to people about, like, their feelings or their time sheets or, like, their availability or, like, all their concerns.

Like, you need a separate business person.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah.

A people manager is very different to a scriptwriter, but she was both.

So she talks about the early days of girls in her new memoir.

And Lena says that she was crushing on Adam Driver in the early days and says that she was heartbroken upon finding out that Adam Driver was engaged and said, the more I knew him, the less I understood.

And so it seems like they had like a really lovely- I feel like they are their characters.

I do feel like there's quite a lot of crossover.

Yeah.

She also says that throughout Girls, throughout the making of the show, but especially in the beginning, Adam was verbally aggressive and physically imposing on the show's set, which, again, everything that she's written makes me sound like is really turning me off this man and also making me think that, like, we need to go back and have a closer look at his overall behavior.

So she writes in the book, I spent an inordinate amount of time wondering if Adam liked me.

He could be short-tempered and verbally aggressive, condescending and physically imposing.

He could also be protective, loving even.

I reason that the intensity of his anger at me, anger that could make him spit and throw things, was proportionate to the intensity of our creative connection.

one day in his dressing room as i apologized for a perceived slight i couldn't remember committing he got close to my face and hissed never forget that i know you i really know you adam said she also said that she sometimes would hand over control to him because she felt they were creative partners even though she's his boss at this point in time and she says i ran decisions by him that weren't his to make we rehearsed on weekends in his spare white living room

even when the scene was easy and didn't require it.

He hugged me tight in the morning and again at the end of the day.

This is kind of one of the, I mean, there's a lot of bad allegations, but one of the worst allegations was when she says, late one night as we practiced lines in my trailer, I found that mine was suddenly gone.
