Laverne Cox

And he was just so dialed into that huge heart and that love and that generosity.

And it was such an honor to receive all of that love that he has inside, that he surrendered to the character and to our circumstances as father and daughter.

I already have.

It may not exist yet, but I know that there are artists out there who I maybe haven't met yet who are writing it.

You know, Shonda Rhimes cast me to play Casey Duke, who is a real-life human being and a brilliant woman who I got to meet, and she's not transgender, in Inventing Anna.

I'm not fully clear if the character I played in Promising Young Woman is trans or not.

It doesn't suggest that she's trans.

So the audience can make the decision.

And I always have wondered if... With Casey, it's explicit that she's not trans.

But if the character's not written as trans... Well, like, if the character's not written as black and I play her, the character becomes black.

If the character's not written as trans, does she become trans because I'm playing her?

And I think in some cases, maybe.

And in some cases, maybe not.

It depends on if there's source material of them playing a real person.

And so for me, it's really about how complicated the character is, how challenging she is to play, and less about whether she's trans or not.

I certainly...

I don't see any limitations around what I can play as an actor.

And I think what I'm most excited about is if people feel that there's a limitation, I look forward to proving them wrong.

Yes, I'm very excited about that.

Thank you.
