\"I don't think she's ever gonna go anywhere,\" she said. \"But I kind of like that.\"
During an interview with CBS Sunday Morning, which aired on Feb. 9, Erivo said that she tries \"not to think about\" achieving EGOT status \"at all,\" however she said she is \"reminded of it often.\"
\"I just sort of go, 'Well, whenever it's time, it's time.' I'm not necessarily hanging on for it,\" she continued. \"It would be wonderful if it happened, but I think I have to put the work before the award you know? Because that's actually how it has to be.\"
She added, \"I think what it is lovely, is how many people are rooting for me. I guess there's a part of me -- it's like I hope I can at some point make them proud.\"
The 2025 Oscars will take place Sunday, March 2, airing live on ABC and streaming live on Hulu beginning at 7 p.m. ET.
Disney is the parent company of Hulu, ABC News and \"Good Morning America.\"
