Glenn Close recently chatted with Variety about wanting to play the Disney villain Cruella de Vil again, her new jazz album, and more.

While a new Cruella movie is in the works, starring Emma Stone, Close revealed that she's interested in taking on the role again, perhaps in a new way.

"I have a great story to make another Cruella with my Cruella," she teased. "Cruella comes to New York and disappears down the sewers."

Close's new album with Ted Nash, 'Transformation: Personal Stories of Change, Acceptance, and Evolution' is available on May 7. (Read our review here.)

"I used to be intimidated by jazz," Close said. "Now I feel it is an absolute expression of what it means to be a human being."

While she doesn't see herself as a jazz musician, she has aspirations to take the stage in that way.

"I have a fabulous red Gibson electric bass and I've taken lessons," she said. "I just want to be in the background being cool wearing a great hat."
