I did 'Mad Men' and I still have people come up to me like, 'Are you actually a lesbian?' Really? Just because I play one on TV? People will think what they're gonna think.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm not a straight man, but I play one on television.
People think they know who I am, because I've played so many very, very out gay men on stage, and they think that's me.
I've got quite a big gay following. I played a lesbian prostitute in the TV series 'Band Of Gold' but I think my following really grew when I played one in the film 'Imagine Me & You,' with Piper Perabo.
I'm happy to say that I'm a lesbian in the world. I know there are people who don't want to be called women comedians, but I think it gives a path to the fact that we live in extremely patriarchal times.
I read with some amusement my reputation as a ladies' man. My friends are amused by that, too, because they know my life.
I've played a lot of weird women. I play crazy ladies, and I've played a lot of insane women and weird best friends that are not sexually desirable.
I'm a big fan of 'Mad Men.'
I think I've played a lesbian about five times. The first one was with Helen Baxendale in a drama called 'The Investigator,' about the conditions lesbians had to live under in the army in Britain, which was based on a true story.
In the industry, I got a lot of attention for 'Mad Men,' because everyone in the industry watches it.
I've played women since I was a kid and I've always enjoyed it.
