I was just so honored to play the role of Cinderella and to just be the first African-American princess, that's just historic for me, that's such a mark in my life and my career and then the bonus of just working with my favorite person in the whole world, Whitney [Houston], like her voice just did something to my spirit.

Your children can be around you all day, but if you don't spend quality time with them and you don't pay attention to them and talk to them and listen to them, it doesn't matter that they're just around you.

My daughter, I can't give up because she's watching and she's here and she's waiting for me to be an example. So, between her, myself, and my will, and me pushing myself, that's my inspiration.

So when you get a chance to look at things and chill and relax, it makes you want it more, and that's why I'm so happy to be back!

The more natural, the better.

I don't get into the favorite songs thing, because so many speak to different parts of my life, but the music in the '90s is just unbeatable.

I have so much more to go through as a young lady. But oh my God. I feel like I can do anything.
