"anytime i hear the keys in the door, i could be so angry at him, but just something in me relaxes." such an interesting and accurate way to describe what being in love can feel like.
"I'm just a very dissatisfied person" ...I never thought a person could admit such a thing, out loud, without an immediate intervention taking place or being placed on suicide watch. This entire interview was the most freeing and hopeful thing I've heard in ages. 💕Thank you Jemima💕
Oh God, when she talks about birthing her first child and the guilt...that is so very very real and such a specific feeling. I felt it and still sometimes do and I appreciate her so very much for expressing this difficult to admit truth.
Same and still do. It’s a shame we don’t talk about this more. It’s all ahh motherhood is bliss blah blah blah. No it the hell is not. It’s tough stuff
People should feel bad. Who the hell is anyone to snatch an innocent soul from the ether to suffer and die on this hot, crowded, and dying planet? Completely selfish. #antinatalism
I have never loved watching an interview as much as this. Jemima is so beautiful and raw and honest -- what a breath of fresh air. In the 13 odd minutes I watched this, I felt better about embracing my own neuroses and insecurities. Truly moved to the core.
she did not have to be so candid...this vulnerable version of Jemima was really a treat.I am glad she shared,that last answer was cray. "being accountable for something I make".
The moments with her husband! YES! I want more stories like that! That level of intimacy is beautiful, from cutting of the hair to "that shape you're in is art". I love it!
it's interesting that the producers (and Jemima Kirke herself) think that she is nothing like her character Jessa, because from her interview I think there are actually more parallels (in character) than differences. Also, it's odd to ascribe to Jessa a "carefree spirit" because that is exactly what she is not: it's her act- that she doesn't care, that she is so chill, that she fucks up and fucks around with her own and other people's lives and that's fine by her- but in reality she not only cares deeply but also suffers deeply from this her inability to "get her shit together", be "normal" and "grow up". In the end she actually turns her life and attitude around based exactly on those insecurities and overcoming them in a constructive manner by getting her degree and working a lot on herself to be able to understand, embrace and be more compassionate of other people, their problems and own insecurities. Jessa is easily the most complex and most interesting character on the show and played magnificently by this brilliant and just as complex and interesting actress. I wish her much success in her future endeavors and also just much simple human happiness in life.
KnigoLiebe if you are interested try listen to one the podcast "women of the hour" also on TH-cam, there is one episode where Lena Dunham and Jemima talk about their friendship (they've been friends for many years before girls), and how Lena somewhat based the character Jessa on Jemima, and how this has been very ambivalent for jemima to play. Very honest and interesting. I'll try and link below (otherwise try search for "women of the hour friendship bonus episode jemima kirke")
The extent of this woman's self awareness is incredible. Being able to dig deep enough to identify all these internal struggles and articulate them so beautifully, what others can only feel and cannot express, you have just spoken verbally, this is a gift. Thank you. I understand myself better now because of you.
Sharing all of that in an interview it's so brave, I feel so much respect for her. Sometimes we see people on tv thinking they have a perfect life, being happy, having money, a partner, children, etc. Hearing all of that from someone who is famous really gets to my heart. Sending her tons of love and positive vibes.
"Something in me relaxes when he walks in the room" + "Feeling empty... all the time... and sometimes you just get exhausted... again, I thought I'd gotten somewhere, I thought I'd realized something, I thought I'd changed" - YES, so much yes.
This felt so intimate and raw and real. Her feelings are so valid, and so relatable. I wish she was kinder to herself though. She seems like an amazing person.
Ugh. As if I didn't already admire her before! Love Jemima Kirke. This project is so awesome! Not-so-secretly wanting to be a part of something like this... I think it's great you're taking action on helping bring people to self-acceptance through the thoughts and struggles of other - more well-known - individuals; showing they're going through the very same things we all are internally. :)
Incredibly clever, emotionally aware and so wonderfully articulate. I wish I could put my thoughts and feelings into words like this but it's pretty damn awesome that the person who can describe my mind so eerily well is the great Jemima Kirke.
Thank you so much for this interview. The honesty is felt & truly impactful. To hear another woman being open with feeling the chronic dissatisfaction of day to day, the fear of past and present was such a relief. As always, the most lovely questions were asked and the answers that were offered were beautifully raw.
To feel free and also be committed to someone is definitely an art for real. And I can completely relate to being a dissatisfied person it is exhausting and torturous
I felt like a true intruder watching this. And I'm not talking about the exterior nudity at all. It's amazing how honest she's being, how vulnerable she lets herself get. That's f***ing brave! It's so uncommon to see it in interviews, it almost feels wrong. But no, it's not wrong. I wish the best for her and her family, I hope she has a lot of moments of happiness and feeling whole.
I understand her. I also relate to her. She is beautiful to me, and her neurosis is part of what makes her interesting. I hope she is able to relax a bit and feel more content.
I love your project so much. In each and every person you interview I find something I can relate to and it is truly calming and empowering. Pure magic.
No Madge ... it's annoying. so annoying and pretentious. it's not a thing that naturally exists. it's so put on and forced. it's all uneven and all over the place.
I don't think that I would ever be able to say thank you enought. For that and for all the inspiration all over this years. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 10000000 times. Thank you.
In the years of watching your videos, this is my first comment. I just want to say thank you so, so very much for these beautiful, beautiful interviews. It's a wonderful thing that you've created. I have gained so much confidence in myself watching these, so much hope for the future. These individuals just shine through the lens and their strength is awe-inspiring. I'm so happy that I've found your channel and your wonderful videos. Keep on rocking it!
How wonderful it is to see someone open up, to look at them and listen to them and think "What a beautiful human being." Thank you, Jemima. Thank you, StyleLikeU.
This was one of the most brave, bold and revealing things that I've ever seen from a public figure...and very powerful. Thanks Jemima. P.S. I haven't seen 'Girls', but everything about you and your character in 'Tiny Furniture', and how you played it, made me feel that I was witnessing the birth of a great new talent and huge new star.
There is no need to be a Millenial to feel involved in what she says. Somehow we can get identified with some of her insights. Really raw interview, remarkable, and it’s soothing to see everyone has flaws or self-doubt. She comes across as very smart and true. Beautiful interview!
Brilliant, thank you for making this. Kirke engenders in me a respect that is stronger than felt for any traditional role model. You have here the new blueprint for interviews.
"I could even just hear the keys in the door, but something in me relaxes when he walks in the room" this was me and my sons father, for both of us. Comfortable even though we were unhappy
she is so open, its so refreshing and almost frightening. the part about motherfood really struck me in particular, ive never heard ANYONE be so honest about the experience. everybody just assumes women are made to be mothers, but it doesnt always work that way. i just adore jemima.
I’m crying right now watching this amazing woman, I know it sounds stupid but I can relate to her on so many levels. Feeling dissatisfied, feeling constantly emotional can just break a person. She is one person I wish I could just hug and gut out everything too
I love her honesty about parenting...is not the path of roses that everyone is trying to sell like "the best thing in life". Coming from her...is the best and sincere message.
It's weird how I'm in my late teens and she's probably in her late twenties, so we're in completely different places in life and I still relate to so much that she said about herself and life and everything. Love this series so much xx
WOW! Just thanks for putting this out there. I am every word she said about herself and this makes me feel seen and HEALED more than any therapy. So, thanks! Also I think Jemima is my spirit animal. No kidding!
When she said '' I trapped myself in a way that made me comfortable'' Wow. Being a young mother I relate to that so much. I have so many passions that I just ignored when I become a mother. I lost a part of myself. My son is 4 and I'm just starting to get back to myself. I have so much respect for her.
it seems to me very sincere about what she says and women like that are admirables. the honesty and the transparency that gives all, as an example for other girls. the best for your channel and really many hits.
Love this interview. 1:06 Same reason I finally decided to cut my hair, too. The "go-to trick" of long hair started to feel like it was weighing me down.
omg. i felt sometimes that being a mom limits me a little in pursuing my career ambitions (when my kid is sick i need to stay home) but now seeing this i feel like i really have it all. omg i never imagined that a tv star would feel like this.
that's sad to hear, but based on this small snippet about what she said about her husband and marriage, I had the distinct feeling that it wasn't going to last in the long run between them... I thought the long run in this case would have been a little longer however...
i've watched a number of videos from these series. and it's been a while since i've seen these last. i have to say, a lot of these interviews have helped me find aspects of myself. amazing work. kudos.
This is so honest and brave of you! I hope you feel lighter someday. Please seek people to support you when you're tired of finding yourself in those feelings of inadequacy. Long walks work, listening to Alan Watts' talks on youtube works :) And all the sadness in the world goes away, comes back, goes away... Get to know it more.
"You can still be free when people love you."
Cecily Erker so simple but yet so hard to understand
I used to have that same issue like her and thankfully managed to redefine it
Cecily Erker This is hard to deal with
I feel trapped all the time by love
... just over here counting all the ways i adore this person and all of you for this project.
Yes!!! You need to be next. :)
omg i didn't expect to see you here! love you ari
Ari Fitz ariiiiii❤❤❤
hell yeah Ari! this is easily one of my favorite channels... second the notion that you need to be on here :)
Lorena Vujnović sdcxvgybmmlñoutzv
I admire her raw honesty and humility about marriage and motherhood. She is way too hard on herself.
yeah waay tooo hard she's soo great!
i completely agree
Aren't we all! We are our worst critics!

Oh my god, me either. That part really hit me.
"I think I have a safety in feeling trapped, but I also have like an allergy to it, too." Yup.
I relate to everything she said so entirely.
I'm only 5 minutes in but was about to comment this exact thing 😭
Yes, same here!
I feel like I was where she is now a year ago, it's still so vivid.
John Doe No. :|
Melanie B.
Me as well! She is beautifully earthy and honest.
She was naked long before she took off her clothes. My goodness what an exceptionally smart woman. Great interview
agreed !
Tomakak, what you mean?
@Tomakak the tattoos?
Oh God, when she talks about birthing her first child and the guilt...that is so very very real and such a specific feeling. I felt it and still sometimes do and I appreciate her so very much for expressing this difficult to admit truth.
Same and still do. It’s a shame we don’t talk about this more. It’s all ahh motherhood is bliss blah blah blah. No it the hell is not. It’s tough stuff
People should feel bad. Who the hell is anyone to snatch an innocent soul from the ether to suffer and die on this hot, crowded, and dying planet? Completely selfish. #antinatalism
@@sint0xicateme It's not _actually_ crowded. The problem is people using far greater resources than necessary.
I have never loved watching an interview as much as this. Jemima is so beautiful and raw and honest -- what a breath of fresh air. In the 13 odd minutes I watched this, I felt better about embracing my own neuroses and insecurities. Truly moved to the core.
Ahh Jemima. Thank you for your honesty and vulnerbility. This video was 13 mins of healing for me

it's interesting that the producers (and Jemima Kirke herself) think that she is nothing like her character Jessa, because from her interview I think there are actually more parallels (in character) than differences. Also, it's odd to ascribe to Jessa a "carefree spirit" because that is exactly what she is not: it's her act- that she doesn't care, that she is so chill, that she fucks up and fucks around with her own and other people's lives and that's fine by her- but in reality she not only cares deeply but also suffers deeply from this her inability to "get her shit together", be "normal" and "grow up". In the end she actually turns her life and attitude around based exactly on those insecurities and overcoming them in a constructive manner by getting her degree and working a lot on herself to be able to understand, embrace and be more compassionate of other people, their problems and own insecurities. Jessa is easily the most complex and most interesting character on the show and played magnificently by this brilliant and just as complex and interesting actress. I wish her much success in her future endeavors and also just much simple human happiness in life.
BRAVO I AGREE COMPLETELY. I see a lot of parallels.

KnigoLiebe actually, if you watch till the end, she doesn't get a degree. She drops out and she remains a complete fuck up.
She expressed what I feel on a daily basis in a way I never could. Thank you for yet another beautiful portrait.

I have no idea who she is but I absolutely loved this; what a gorgeous human being, inside & out.
Celina Liya watch the show "girls" ... U can thank me later ;)
I will! I looked it up right away :)
beware the white washing
the show isn't girls in NYC finding their way it's white girls in NYC finding their way which is like fine but :/
I think considering the creator of the show is white, it makes sense that she would write from a white person's perspective.
"I think I've a safety in feeling trapped, but I also think I've an allergy to it to." yessss, so relatable
Sara N my life in a nutshell, one of many
👌🌷💓
She's incredible: so thoughtful, so truthful and so finely tuned into her sense of self.
"Something in me relaxes when he walks in the room" + "Feeling empty... all the time... and sometimes you just get exhausted... again, I thought I'd gotten somewhere, I thought I'd realized something, I thought I'd changed" - YES, so much yes.

I love your project so much. In each and every person you interview I find something I can relate to and it is truly calming and empowering. Pure magic.
It is so amazing to hear someone be so honest.
Of all the characters on Girls, I think Hannah and Jessa are the most similar to the people who play them
TheZchristina97 truuuueeee! I thinknthat goes hand in hand with how relatable/real they are, so maybe its also a good thing
You mean "who they play" not "who play them" ?
@@juye1207 No she said it correctly. Hannah and Jessa are the character names.
So much more genuine than one could imagine a star of a popular TV show could ever be. Loved this.
Her accent is very interesting. She sounds both British and American at times.
No Madge ... it's annoying. so annoying and pretentious. it's not a thing that naturally exists. it's so put on and forced. it's all uneven and all over the place.
Cornwall Her accent is actually one of a kind because she was born in England but raised in NYC.
She's not faking it. Her parents are both English. Her sisters sound exactly the same.
They call it a 'transatlantic accent'
Rembrandt it isn't forced it's what comes from having English parents but living in America.
Completely beautiful human being. So raw, so humble and authentic. I love her.
This is so real. So painfully, beautifully, rawfully authentic.
I don't think that I would ever be able to say thank you enought. For that and for all the inspiration all over this years. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 10000000 times. Thank you.
"Moments" of feeling empty....all the time.
YEESSSSS!!! Amazing, so happy to see her here!!
A safety in feeling trapped but an allergy to it too. Truer words have never been spoken my dear.

Beautiful inside & out. Love how introspective she is, & the way she articulates her feelings.
There is no need to be a Millenial to feel involved in what she says. Somehow we can get identified with some of her insights. Really raw interview, remarkable, and it’s soothing to see everyone has flaws or self-doubt. She comes across as very smart and true. Beautiful interview!

She speaks about things most of us are not allowed to speak.. thnx Jemima, hearing my thoughts this way, I feel better. Such a real person
Brutally, compellingly beautifully honest..my favorite!
Love
Godspeed
Dee
AMAZING! my favorite so far.. she pins down that inexplicable "dissatisfaction" that I suffer from, subtly.
She is gorgeous inside and out. I relate a lot with how she feels, sad but true.
Love her, and I'm gonna miss Girls 😔

For a very long time I had a feeling she will participate in this project. And finally! She's a great art-person.
This was so real and honest. Totally respect her. I think this was the best one yet
Love this interview.
1:06 Same reason I finally decided to cut my hair, too. The "go-to trick" of long hair started to feel like it was weighing me down.
She seems like she has it all but it isn't enough.
Couldn't of said it better.♥️ many women/girls are going through the same things. Thank you for existing Jemima.
Darling Jemima!! You are an amazing soul!! I hope you find all kinds of love and courage and freedom!!
I love her openness, I love her shes a beautiful, and lovely person from the inside out.
shes very honest, like she doesnt live in her sadness or bottom, she realizes she is apart of something bigger in a way, shes very wise
Jemima this is so amazing, thank you for being so brave and sharing how you feel!
She is so beautiful & I love how raw and open she is
the things she said touched me in my heart because i feel exactly the same in mannnnyyyyy many ways. this interview is just gold.
6:42 interview saying WHY?? sounded so angry lmao
I wanted to jump in there and protect her from the angry lady.
😂😂😂
Jemima, if you read this, you are such a beautiful (inside AND out) and to a lot of people also a very inspiring woman.
Loved Jemima in girls, and I love her more outside of it. She is a very real, honest person. I can relate to everything she says. ❤
omg. i felt sometimes that being a mom limits me a little in pursuing my career ambitions (when my kid is sick i need to stay home) but now seeing this i feel like i really have it all. omg i never imagined that a tv star would feel like this.
such a bright, interesting person. when she started tearing up i felt it in my soul
These interviews are very beautiful. Great questions and editing...speechless stories as well. Lovely.
this is an extremely beautiful and honest video. Thank you for making it
she is so real. i love her
thats so sadddddd! you posted this 3 days after she splits from her husband :(
mer521993 I didn't know that :(
mer521993 aw what actually?? :(
oh no no truly?
that's sad to hear, but based on this small snippet about what she said about her husband and marriage, I had the distinct feeling that it wasn't going to last in the long run between them... I thought the long run in this case would have been a little longer however...

amazing work. kudos.
thank you for such honesty and making emphasis on the realities we all go through.. whatever they are for each other individually.
Her honesty is so refreshing and beautiful.
this was heartbeaking. i really admire her honesty and i can relate to a lot she's said
She and her husband split up, so sad she is so wonderful , hope she is ok :(
She didn't sound happy though so I'm sure she is better off. As I watched it I thought "she's not happy with him."
She left him to shack up with Alex Cameron.
I relate to so many things she is saying. wanting to be free, never feeling like you are enough based on the past ... feeling trapped sometimes. ..
Thank you for this series! Each women is awesome in her very own skin!
This is so honest and brave of you! I hope you feel lighter someday. Please seek people to support you when you're tired of finding yourself in those feelings of inadequacy. Long walks work, listening to Alan Watts' talks on youtube works :) And all the sadness in the world goes away, comes back, goes away... Get to know it more.
Wow. I want to watch this over and over again.
