We're closing in on the Sept. 29 release of Lenny Letter, a project from Lena Dunham that delivers heavy doses of "feminism, style, health, politics, friendship, and everything else." Of course, we've been looking forward to more inspirational quotes and the same relatable content we find on her Instagram, but this week, we also learned the digital newsletter will be featuring a new interview with Hillary Clinton. In the sneak peek above, Lena asks Hillary to talk about her decision to get married. What we found more interesting, though, was that Hillary buried golden nuggets of life advice in her answer. Read our favorite quotes below.
- On handling life and career decisions: "I often tell young women who ask me about my life or my career: you just make the best decision you can at the time."
- On how to make those huge, life-changing choices: "Don't be reluctant to make decisions, and don't rush into them. I mean, give them some thought. And then finally you say to yourself, 'I think this is right for me. I'm going to go ahead and do it.' And you just do the best you can."
- On the anxiety of losing herself in her marriage: "I was terrified about losing my identity and getting lost in the kind of wake of Bill's force-of-nature personality . . . and that was a large part of the ambivalence and the worry that I wouldn't necessarily know who I was - or what I could do - if I got married to someone who was going to chart a path that he was incredibly clear about."
- On how she felt about being young and considering marriage: "My ideas were much more inchoate. I wasn't sure how to best harness my energies. And so I was searching . . . and I wasn't quite sure how everything I cared about might fit into a marriage with him. And so eventually I said yes. It was a big leap of faith, and I think most marriages are. I mean, you really do just sort of say, 'OK, I think I know what it's gonna be like, but I don't know for sure. Let's find out.'"
