Lena Dunham may step out of the spotlight when Girls eventually ends.

In an interview with Glamour, the 27-year-old actor/writer/director expressed her desire not to be in front of the camera. "I don't know if I'm going to want to act anymore," she said. "I'm always relieved on the days I don't have to. I'd rather give parts to other women than be the woman having the parts."

'90s Stars: Where are they now?

Still a topic three seasons in, Dunham also discussed the show's frequent nudity, which she says doesn't bother her boyfriend, fun. guitarist Jack Antonoff. "The dialogue around the show already existed, so it was sort of clear to him what the baggage of dating me was going to be," she said. "I remember talking with him on our first date and him being like, 'God, all the articles about your nudity on the show are such bullsh--.' It's funny, 'cause in some ways that's the conversation we still have when I'm upset [about stuff I read]."
