Deep down there's a lot of talk about general existence.

Lena DunhamMy mother, father and brothers (I was the youngest of three boys), were all very sarcastic and we were a complete Irish-Catholic family.

They remain consistently, amazingly attuned to us, even when we fail them, and so we stay present, because we sense we're safe.
