Jemima Kirke, who plays the role of Jessa on Girls, recently sat down for an interview with Well and Good where she talked about body confidence. The site quotes her as follows:
"As women, we're taught our whole lives that thin is better, that the less space we take up the better, and that being strong is not associated with being feminine. For [my trainer], it's 'strong is feminine,' because we need to be strong in our lives and work out for more than just looking good. It's functional, it improves the quality of your life so that you can pick up your kids and chase after them without getting winded. It's about that not about working out because you ate...fuck whatever it is that you ate!"
