afterellen: It’s funny, it’s so complicated because I’d love to play a queer woman on a television show but that’s only because I think we need to see more queer women on television, not because it’s the only thing I can play, certainly. Whenever there’s a space that’s lacking, I’d love to be able to slide in. That’s why with, like The Mindy Kaling Project. I was just Facebooking about it today. I can’t tell you — the first time I saw that pilot — I’m not into romantic comedies. That’s not really my go-to genre. When I saw that pilot, just seeing a woman with skin that looked like mine seem so unapologetic and very un-selfconciouss just made such a huge difference to me. It was unbelievable. It made me want to watch her show, even though I’m not into romantic comedies. There’s something about that that I can relate to. And then there are people who don’t have dark skin necessarily but do like romantic comedies and can relate to looking for love in the modern world or whatever. There’s just so much space for people to have recognition within characters of colors or characters that are queer or gender nonconforming and I feel like we don’t give audiences enough credit to be able to handle that kind of stuff.

"With all the fan fiction that exists out there, you have an entire queer community that are watching heterosexual love stories and coming up with their own stories between characters of the same sex. Give them something to feed off of and get excited about. There’s so much of that out there you would think there could be a real show dedicated to showing some different types of relationships and it doesn’t have to be marketed to the queer community, the gay community, the lesbian community, the trans community, obviously. Everybody would be able to find something in it if it was a well-written show. That’s entirely possible but it takes people to step into positions of power to bring that stuff about."
