Cynthia Nixon

Women's health needs to be front and center - it often isn't, but it needs to be.

I'm fairly out of the loop when it comes to pop culture.

I met this woman, I fell in love with her, and I'm a public figure.

I am a big one for subtlety and empathy. My dad was softly spoken and didn't carry his honours and accomplishments for everyone to see.

Shaft was a pop culture figure along t he lines of, I guess, Dirty Harry - except that he wasn't as much of a racist. So yeah, I was always a fan.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.
