I'm researching a lot about transsexuality [for the role]. Oh, my God, I'm so excited. That's why I love my job, because I learn so much with every role that I play because you get to research. I'm playing a transsexual. And I've been doing a lot of research and reading and getting to meet people. I've learned so much from these transsexuals and transgender people that it's amazing. I can't even describe you how much in peace I feel now because I've got to meet people ... that they are amazing people that have been through so much pain. And that makes them just survivors in my point of view and amazing, amazing people. I'm very happy and I'm very proud to be able to, to just to open my eyes, open my mind. Once I was playing a prostitute down in Bolivia — I spent three months there, and it's the poorest country in Latin America. I was having a bad, bad time because I was hanging out with all these prostitutes. In Bolivia, it's legal. So I was hanging out with all these prostitutes, and the stories they would tell me, my heart was so broken and I was feeling so bad I would be like, "Dad, I feel so bad, I wish I could have so much money to give these people, and to do something, to help them" and my father — my father's a big actor, right — he was like, "Honey, you need to stop this because this is not your reality. But I am so glad you know that it exists because it is reality."
