I'm in The Night Listener with Robin Williams, and maybe my character's a lesbian--I don't know Don't know (DK, DKed)

"Don't know the trade." A Street expression used whenever one party lacks knowledge of a trade or receives conflicting instructions from the other party.
. I mean, his character is gay, so maybe his bookkeeper is a lesbian!

And in 3 Needles you play a nun.

Yeah, go figure that.

Another lesbian favorite.

Oh, my God, and I play a nun with two other probable lesbian favorites: Chloe Sevigny and Olympia Dukakis Olympia Dukakis (born June 20, 1931) is an Academy Award-winning American actress.

Dukakis was born in Lowell, Massachusetts to Alexandra Christos and Constantine Dukakis, Greek immigrants to the United States.

. I'm at the place where I feel I don't need to justify why I'm there. What's great about Grey's Anatomy is that we have not really dealt with the races of our characters yet. I'll be excited to see at what point we're going to get into situations where we can explore race.

Speaking of race, some of us first saw you in the movie Double Happiness, in which you played a Canadian-Chinese woman caught between her own needs and her parents' expectations.

Oh, God bless you! It always thrills me when people have seen my previous work, and some of it is the work that's nearest and dearest to my heart.

How do you manage to be on a hit TV series as well as act in plays and in what you call "uberindie" films?

It's wonderful and challenging to play one character for years, but it's also terrific to play different characters.
