The cast of HBO’s Girls, Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet, was interviewed on the Today Show this morning. The best part of the Q&A might have been the hilarious disconnect between the cast and the interviewer, who describes being frequently “mortified” when watching the show, a reaction the girls don’t exactly connect with. Bonus points to Kirke for her pajama-y outfit. On her own bravery Dunham comments,

“I always think it’s brave to step into the mouth of a lion or — to save a baby but it’s not that brave to get naked if you’re not scared to get naked.”

The interview is part of the promotion leading up to the return of season 2 on January 13th.

Spent yesterday afternoon internet obsessing over HBO’s new series Girls (see first episode courtesy of HBO here), especially the character Jessa Johansson (above midde, played by Jemima Kirke), reading everything there is to read, watching all the videos, etc. I like to imagine my 20s self was Jessa, but the truth is more like two parts Jessa , eight parts Hannah Horvath (above left, played by the show’s writer/director Lena Dunham) and an as-of-yet-to-be-determined-parts Marnie Michaels (above right, played by Allison Williams). That was always a fun part of Sex & the City, figuring out who and how much you identify with each character and the things they do that make you love them and even better sort of struggle to like them…just like real people!
