What do you want most when you get your name in lights. I think for me, it would be to get a standing O, change someone with my performance and eventually win a Tony 
Ya gotta dream big to be big!
How bout you guys?

To have some kid come up to me and tell me that they want to "follow in my footsteps" and that I have stretghened their love for theatre.
Could there be anything greater?

Posted: 1/5/05 at 5:39pmThat's my dream, Priest. To inspire someone like so many actors have inspired me.

I just want to hear cheers when I come out of the stage door.
I can't help it if I'm an attention wh*re...
Hey...that rhymes...
No, seriously, I want for somebody to look at me and say to the person next to them, "I want to do THAT".

Yeah, sure. I want all that stuff mentioned above.
But what I really want is a lime green limo.

Like the one Britney Spears used to go to the wedding chapel in Vegas?
I mean, um, no, I don't obsessively watch VH1's Most Shocking Moments specials...

Posted: 1/5/05 at 5:46pmWell, the thought of me being a Broadway star is very far fetched, but if I should happen to be one, I would want to be able to go to BWW.com and read the Hannah Appreciation Thread.
HROK?

see, maybe it's just me--or maybe I'm just misinterpreting--but I don't get the whole "name in lights" and "being famous" thing. My dream is just to be doing satisfying work.
But anyway...if I ever were a "famous" broadway performer...I would have to agree with Priest. To inspire as I have been inspired.
EDIT: Golly gee...I don't have to be "famous" to inspire someone with a performance, now do I?

BroadwayGirl107: I agree, I just want to do musical theatre until I'm old and gray!
Of course being famous wouldn't bother me...
mostly I would like it if I could do a show stopping that inspired the audience

Posted: 1/5/05 at 7:12pmI would die to be nominated for a Tony and win it. Then it would be great to have my title role in the movie of the show I would currently be in.

hmm, that whole screaming from the stage door thing is what i want too, plus to change the way a person feels, to move ppl, through my performance
oh and just a Tony nomination would satisfy me although winning would be amazing!!

I actually have NO desire to be famous but since we're talking about dreams... Mine is to be on Broadway just doing what I love 'cause I can't imagine doing anything else and I want to be satisfied.

Posted: 1/5/05 at 7:38pmIf I could become famous, I would want to , of course, inspire people with my work. I would also want to give out tons of autographs and have people run after me on the street. I had that happen once and it was pretty cool.
Was that a fat joke?

If I can just keep on acting until I die, then I'll have "made it".
However, it would be cool to be famous because then you could reach people on a larger scale, and make a difference in the world.
"This is what I trained to do, and this is what I love about theater. What I love about being an actress is being able to really look into myself and understand another human being. And out my own self, to shape and form and fashion a real human being--and to present that in such a way that people see something of themselves or their own understanding in that human being."

Posted: 1/6/05 at 10:34amI want to take people away for 2 h and 30 m to a place where they are totally happy, I want them to walk out and be inspired , I want a little kid to come see me who comes from a place where there isn't theater to say "I WANT TO GROW UP AND GIVE THAT BACK TO ANOTHER KID"... I want to be the talk of teen obsessions like RENT.. give kids,teens and others stuff to talk about other then drinking or drugs. I want to take part in changing someones life forever because of one experience. I want to give kids what everyone on bway from the time I was 4 gave to me. Inspiration,Hope,Happiness,Love and the thought that I can be or do anything when I am up there. The stagedoor part would be fun too.. to have someone notice you and say "wow! can I have a photo" I think i'd cry of happiness because I know I succeeded in doing the above.

I want dozens of threads about me started everyday on broadwayworld.com. Great threads like.. "He's the Best Ever" "does he use hair conditioner" etc. I want Type a Tiff and others to get tired of seeing my name. and
I want people to stand outside stage door and scream at me and think that I owe tham an autograph. I want people to totally invade my privacy.
