Ich habe mir immer gewünscht, dass die Leute ganz selbstverständlich wissen: Die ist lesbisch, die steht auch dazu, die kann man darauf ansprechen. Gleichzeitig kann sie alles spielen, was sie spielen könnte, wenn es diese Information nicht gäbe. Das brauchte seine Zeit und das brauchte eine Aufgeschlossenheit von Seiten der Produzenten.
