00:00When you look at all the areas that you could be participating in, that you aren't in yet,
00:03is there somewhere that you're really excited to try and get into?
00:06Are there options that Natasha's looking at for you that you haven't gotten into yet?
00:10What do you want me to get excited about?
00:12Well, first of all, something that I never, ever thought I would do,
00:15that I did bring to Natasha last year, was I wanted to be on Broadway.
00:19I said, I want to sing on Broadway.
00:21Now, friends, I don't sing, I don't act, and I definitely don't dance.
00:26But for some reason, I had it in my head that this was a goal of mine, and I'm a
00:30big manifester.
00:31I have the yellow pad every year.
00:33I'm writing my three or four pages, and we're getting it done.
00:35We're putting it on the mirror and the walls.
00:38And when I first met Natasha and the whole team, they asked me what was the biggest dream I had
00:42that maybe hadn't come true yet, and that was one of them.
00:45I kid you not, two months later, Chicago calls, and they're like,
00:49we want you to come in for an audition.
00:51I was not ready.
00:52I had no idea what I was doing.
00:53I spent my own money, and I went and got the best music teacher, dance teacher, acting teacher.
01:00I nailed the audition.
01:01I was Roxy Hart in Chicago for six weeks on Broadway.
01:05And UTA really helped me and made that happen.
01:08And what that did for me, and thinking about, like, you know, partnerships and what's next,
01:13is it made me say, I need to dream bigger.
01:16Because if something like that, where I'm not born with the skill set,
01:20and I have to go and get trained for it, that means that there's a lot of training that could
01:23be happening
01:23for anything that I really want.
01:26And I'm really grateful that I have such a great team behind me at UTA that can make those dreams
01:30happen.
01:31And that's, you know, back to what you were saying about there being this open line of communication.
01:37If I didn't have that open line of communication, who knows if, like, the dreams and the desires would even
01:42be able to come true.
01:43So, it's really about this open line of direct communication, access, and really knowing what the dreams and goals are.
01:52And I just think in today's environment, like, the multi-hyphenate talent, there's so much opportunity.
01:59But it does require, you know, us as representatives, obviously thinking outside of the box,
02:05and looking at opportunity that maybe at first doesn't seem like the obvious choice.
02:10Or maybe it doesn't even seem like the biggest thing when you first look at it, but then what it
02:16can lead to.
02:17I mean, even her appearing in Devil Wears Prada, I remember when we spoke about it, it's like, yeah, it's
02:22a cameo.
02:23You don't know what's going to happen on the editing room floor.
02:26But it just turned out, like, first of all, she was in the trailer.
02:30Then she, you know, saw it the other night.
02:33She's in the opening scene of the movie.
02:35And even prior to that, that, you know, that small thing has led to some other really great partnerships just
02:43because of that.
02:44And I think, again, it's like that outside-of-the-box thinking that we together can do as a team,
02:52and she's let us in like that has—it just makes all the difference.
