Ariana Grande has big dreams.<\/p>\n

During an interview with TODAY’s Sheinelle Jones, which aired on on Nov. 18, Grande, 32, revealed what she plans on doing once her “Wicked: For Good” press run is over.<\/p>\n

“I really am enjoying acting right now. Whether it\u2019s movies or being on stage or a little something here and there, I think that\u2019s currently what I\u2019m most inspired by,” she said. “I\u2019ll still sing, I promise. But yes, right now, that\u2019s currently where I\u2019m at.”<\/p>\n

Grande said she\u2019s also interested in doing more theater because that\u2019s where her career started. Grande made her Broadway debut \u201c13: The Musical\u201d in 2008<\/a> when she was about 15 years old.<\/p>\n

“It would be a dream to find the right thing to come back to, to be on stage,” she said. “And we\u2019ll see. I\u2019m grateful to be along for the ride.”<\/p>\n

Grande has already started realizing her dream of doing more on-screen work. The “Eternal Sunshine” singer has secured the role of Olivia Jones in Ben Stiller’s new movie, \u201cFocker-in-Law.” The film is the latest installment in the \u201cMeet the Parents\u201d franchise and it’s currently in post-production.<\/p>\n

When asked what it was like working on the movie that has a starring cast of Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Owen Wilson and more, Grande says she had a “spectacular” time working with everyone on set. <\/p>\n

“I mean, I have grown up adoring Ben. Every single person in the cast I have grown up worshiping, so to be able to work with them and share a creative space with them was a dream come true,” she said.<\/p>\n

As for her singing career, Grande says she still wants to do that as well. She said she wishes to balance that with her work as an actor.<\/p>\n

“I think I’ve learned that they feed one another,” she said. “And I think that balance was missing in my life for a long time, and they’ll figure out the dance as we go.”<\/p>\n

If there’s one thing she’s thankful in her life, it’s for her fans.<\/p>\n

“My fans are so incredibly supportive of that and of me navigating that in real time and being a curious, creative person who’s always wondering what will inspire next,” she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ariana Grande has big dreams.
