Good questions.

Thanks for asking them.

If I became famous and somebody were to play me in a movie, I wonder what would matter to me.

Does it matter how Isaac Newton himself would have felt about it?

Not that we'll ever know.

I grew up White in 1950s Detroit.

Had a grown up Black in 1950s Detroit my experience would have been different.

Does that mean that my being portrayed by a Black actor -- if a movie were ever to be made about my life as a child -- would be a bad idea? A good idea? Of no consequence?

I've always been thin. Would having a fat actor playing me be just fine? (And do I get to say that it ought to be Melissa McCarthy?)

I'm a cis-gendered female. Would having a male actor play me be okay?
