In the interview, Heche stated that she would want Miley Cyrus or Kristen Bell to depict her life.
"The two of them have a personality capacity to face the world the way that I would want, that I feel like I have and would like to be depicted," she stated.
When asked what she liked about the former Disney Channel actress, Anne Heche cited Cyrus' childhood prominence and her dual role in "Hannah Montana."
She praised the "When I Look At You" singer, particularly for performing two characters in one show.

Heche couldn't stop raving over the 29-year-old singer-actress, her voice, compassion, the way she loves everyone, and her ability to walk up on stage and sing acapella.
Kristen Bell acknowledged how much she adored her after co-starring in the 2004 TV movie "Gracie's Choice."
She praised the actress from "The Good Place" for her ability to convey a tale and "do it with joy, with her personality, charisma, great timing, and comedy."
Heche also stated that she recognized a lot of herself in Bell, claiming that it wasn't a mistake that she portrayed her mother in the TV movie, and she wanted Bell to play Heche in her film.
