00:00Holding space for enjoyment, fun, and being open to whatever this year might bring me.
00:07Yeah.
00:08And some of that might be at Universal Pictures with your new deal. Congratulations!
00:12Yes, I'm very excited!
00:14What does that signal about your aspirations and sort of, I'm sure there's probably things you're reading or doing already, but what can you tease about what this means?
00:21It means that I not only get to do some things that I want to do for myself, but I get to start producing things for other people.
00:29And it also means that Universal has put a great deal of faith in me and my little company to maybe bring some things to the screen as well.
00:38Directing?
00:39I would like to at some point. I think so. Yeah.
00:42I'm going to admit to you, I spent some time over the holiday looking at TikTok and looking at the best fashion looks of the year and seeing how many times you were on there.
00:49There was a lot. Did you have a favorite look of the Wicked press tour?
00:54I had a couple favorites. There's the green Louis with the big feather silky boa and then the Tom Brown with the claws. Yeah, I had some favorites. I had a good time.
01:07May I ask you favorites for Ariana?
01:09Favorites for Ariana were the Givenchy yellow tulle that she wore in London and then the Tom Brown baby doll capelet and corseted dress that she wore at the LA premiere.
01:27She looked fabulous. Yeah.
01:29Then there was the Versace one that she wore in Mexico as well. That was really good.
