In a year of big deals for Emma Stone, it's a safe bet that this week is the biggest. As you read this, the white-hot actress is most likely at 30 Rockefeller Center rehearsing for her hosting gig on this weekend's SNL. How, you might ask, is that a bigger deal than starring in the number one movie in the country (Easy A) or landing one of the most coveted female roles in Hollywood (Gwen Stacy in the upcoming Spider-Man reboot)? For this, we direct your attention to an interview we conducted with the then up-and-coming actress almost exactly a year ago today. She told us about her dream job, and how she doubted she would ever get it. So what was it?

If you guessed hosting SNL, then congrats. Before this week, Stone didn't just want to do SNL, she longed for it. Have a look:

You said you usually played girls, and this is the first time you’ve played woman. What makes her woman? Well, she’s not in high school, which is a big leap. I don’t know how people can pass me off as sixteen and seventeen year-olds still. I conceivably do not—like with the way I live my life, I’m like, “How the fuck am I playing in high school still?” I went back to high school for my next film Easy A, so I’ll milk that as long as I can. I have like no goal, is that weird? Other than SNL, I have absolutely no goal.

You want to do SNL? Don’t start me on that. It’s a dream, it’s a dream of life.

Why don’t you make that happen? I don’t know, it’s not gonna happen. Whatever, it’s fine. It’s fine, its nothing. It’s just, no, it’s not even like—it’s like, if that ever happened then I wouldn’t have anything to dream about, and then it would all be pointless.

Why don’t you quit movies and try and become a cast member on SNL? Would you rather do that than movies? Stop it. That’s my dream. I would rather do that than anything in the world.

Wow, I had no idea. Yeah, I mean I’m insanely crazy about Kristen Wiig and I’m so jealous of Abby Elliott it's not even funny. She’s the youngest woman that’s ever been on SNL. She’s twenty one, so we’re like the same age.

So there you go. Is there anyone on the planet right now happier than Emma Stone? Other than this guy, probably not. So congratulations, Ms. Stone, for achieving your life's goal, because not many people get to live their dreams. And for anyone who doubts Stone will do anything other than kill it this weekend, have a look at the promos she shot with Andy Samberg. They're pretty genius.
