In her first interview since announcing her candidacy, she opened up to Glamour not only about what inspired her to run (“I think it’s the election of Donald Trump. I think it’s the defeat of Hillary Clinton,” she said) but also about her experience on the hit HBO show. “I love Miranda! Miranda’s great,” she said, also responding to the fact that at first, fans of the show didn’t want to be associated with the character’s brass, say-it-like-it-is personality. But that has changed with time.
“It’s such a funny thing. You know, when I started the show, I was 30 or 31. People would ask me, ‘How are you like your character?’ And I was like, ‘I am not like my character at all! I am in this long-term relationship. I am a mom—I always knew I’d be a mom. I am very domestic. I am not a confrontational person. I am, yes, smart and a career person, but those are the only two things Miranda and I have in common,’” she said. “What was fascinating to me is that when the show ended, and people would say ‘How are you like Miranda?’ I would be like, ‘I am just like her in just about every way!”

Nixon added, “She and I are so much more interwoven than we were at the beginning of the show.”
In the interview, she also moves on to discuss how she plans to be taken seriously, despite her celebrity status. “I think by just talking to people and making yourself available,” she said. “People are always surprised to see me around and about as if I am living in some cloud somewhere. They’re like, ‘Why are you on the subway?’ And I’m like, ‘Why are you on the subway? Aren’t you going somewhere? I am going somewhere too!’”
Will the “unqualified lesbian” defeat Cuomo? “I feel incredibly optimistic,” she added.
