JEMIMA KIRKE - My mother has bold taste - it was grand. SABINE HELLER - What was your home like growing up? I’ve heard it was beautiful. JEMIMA KIRKE - I lived in London until I was 10 and then moved to Greenwich Village. Sometimes it works and at times I look like an idiot. JEMIMA KIRKE - I deal with fear by acting like I’m not scared at all, by being the opposite. SABINE HELLER - Are you as fearless as you appear or is that a cover-up? JEMIMA KIRKE - I’ve been Jessa at different times in my life. SABINE HELLER - And your character on Girls, Jessa, is essentially a caricature of you. Now, I have more practice and watch what the other actors are doing. When we shot Tiny Furniture with Lena Dunham, I had never even acted in front of a camera. People are going to hate that, but I want to be realistic about it. JEMIMA KIRKE - I’m that person who got it handed to her on a silver plate. SABINE HELLER - As an actress, you’re basically untrained. Acting is seductive, but I love painting more. If I started taking acting seriously then I wouldn’t be taken seriously as an artist, by definition. I’ve never considered the title of actress. SABINE HELLER - I know you consider yourself a painter first and an actress second. Now a wife and mother, 26-year-old Jemima reveals the making of a natural icon. Not formally trained in acting, she’s been described as having a raw, innate talent - though true to her self-deprecating nature, she’s quick to joke that she was handed her role on a silver platter. Propelled into the arts by a rock-star father and designer mother, Kirke was the quintessential wild child with a seemingly old soul.
