'On the Twentieth Century' was always something I wanted to do because of Kristin Chenoweth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Kristin Chenoweth had been my personal idol since I was, like, 6 or 7.
I would have liked to have had more to do with Kristin Bauer van Straten. She's the nicest human being that I think I've ever met.
I've always wanted to do a period movie, to do something the turn of the century, and I'm really fascinated by that whole time period.
If I could have lived as an actress in any period, it would have been the 1920s - I would have loved to have been part of that speakeasy era.
Life in the twentieth century is like a parachute jump: you have to get it right the first time.
I think fame became exciting for me in the late '90s because I could actually use it as a means to an end. I could actually have it help me serve my vocationfulness.
I wanted to stay on a career path of the likes of Natalie Portman. I didn't want to be pigeonholed into a certain genre. I sort of believe that slow and steady wins the race.
I want to be like Sutton Foster, Kristin Chenoweth or Anne Hathaway and do everything that has to do with performing.
In our 20s, women in my generation, we all wanted to be Laurie Anderson.
Obviously I always wanted to do a contemporary piece.
