    “I met John Waters last night, which was insane. One of my idols! And I was talking about how there are only so many ‘firsts’ you can have with your career. And he said, ‘No, no, no—there are all the firsts to go through when you become an actress!’” she told W magazine.

    “And I said, ‘I’m not an actress—what are you talking about?’ He said, ‘Every singer is an actress!’ And I was like, ‘Okay, maybe I am! Damn! If John Waters says I’m an actress, maybe I am!’” Chappell added.

    John Waters has written and directed several cult classics, including 1988′s Hairspray, Cry-Baby, and Pink Flamingos, among others. He’s also acted in many other movies and TV shows, including 21 Jump Street, The Simpsons, My Name Is Earl, 2007′s Hairpsray, and much more.
