But I'm interested in the Barnes Collection in Philadelphia. I hear there are some of the worst Matisses there. I like seeing bad art by good artists. It's inspiring. I'm able to identify with them. It makes them real.

When you're literally carrying a child you can cut back on bad habits.
Jemima Kirke
I've been painting and making things since I was little.
Jemima Kirke
Portraiture keeps me humble. It's simple and straightforward. There is nothing more interesting I can make up than the figure sitting right in front of me.
Jemima Kirke
I've had a baby. I've had an abortion.
Jemima Kirke
I know acting is not impersonating, but I'm good with impressions. I can do impressions of people I know, and people I've been, and roles that I've acted before.
Jemima Kirke
Acting is secondary - I don't feel like it's going to stick around because it's not something I want to do forever. My art has always been my top priority and I have far more experience in that field than I do in film.
Jemima Kirke
By the way, I'm funniest when I'm not being funny. I'm better to laugh at than with, pretty much.
Jemima Kirke
That's what I paint, I paint people. They're portraits, but you won't always be pleased with the way you look in my paintings. Which is fine, I guess. Unless you're buying it, and it's of your kid!
Jemima Kirke
I mean, I have worked out. I've always worked out a little, you know, when I felt it was, like... time.
Jemima Kirke
I've never been one to just do what I'm told. I don't say that necessarily with pride, it's just something that has gotten me in trouble before.
Jemima Kirke
I'll never have a best friend who is a man. It just doesn't work that way. So many times young girls will be like, 'I'm a guy's girl.' And I'm like, 'No, you're not. There's no way a man can understand you like a woman, and you're a guy's girl because you're threatened by other women.' I was like that.
Jemima Kirke
People are confusing me with a good actor when I'm just a good mimic. When someone asks me to play a nun from the fifteenth century, you'll see what I mean.
