Keep reading to find out more… On the growing similarities between her character Miranda Hobbes: “I’ve grown much more like [Miranda] as I’ve grown older, and she’s grown much more like me. It was nothing that I was advocating for, but smart writers, particularly on long-term projects that keep going and evolving, try [to] put as much of the real person in that character as they can, because that’s one of the things that makes television or film or theater so powerful — when the person playing the role has a personal connection.” On Che Diaz, portrayed by Sara Ramirez: “They created such an amazing character — such a controversial character, but such an amazing character. I think they felt, and Michael Patrick felt, that that character had run its course. They came in and shook everything up, and then the arc was completed.” On Gaza: “I try to be careful and say I’m very aware of the tremendous pain and suffering on all sides. But I don’t want to live in a world where I can’t say [that] the killing of unarmed civilians, 70% of whom are women and children— if I can’t say that that is not OK, I don’t know what kind of a world I’m living in.” On her Gilded Age character Ada Brook: “It would be, obviously, wonderful for someone who has always wanted to find love and hasn’t to find it at this advanced age. But I think it was particularly sweet and precious for Ada, because she’s such a relational person. She’s a domestic person, and she’s so much about her relationships, whether it’s her sister or her relatives or her friends or the people who work in her house.” On filming And Just Like That and The Gilded Age simultaneously: “Once the summer starts heating up, it might get crazy, but right now it’s OK. I mean, knock on wood. So far, so good … I think the plan is to try and do a week here, a week there, so it’s not just ricocheting back and forth on a daily basis.”
