Brittany Murphy Inspired By Madonna As A Child

Actress Brittany Murphy answered a few questions from ‘TRL’ viewers over at MTV.com, including what her childhood dreams were and if they came true. “My dreams and aspirations when I was a child for as long as I can remember was to be an entertainer,” she said. “I started out in dance classes and I’ve always sang for as long as I can remember. When I was nine I started doing musical theater in the New Jersey area, where I’m from. The quickest way to entertain more people was to audition for commercials and that was the first thing available since it was right over the Hudson River. Madonna had a quote, ‘I’m going to change the world’-that was a huge inspiration to me so I decided I was going to be my own version of Madonna when I grew up.”
