Just staying true to yourself and staying true to your passion. Following your gut.

One day it just hit me. This is it. You are not in love. So either stay in it because you have a child or be brave and find the man of your dreams and marry him for real.

I was rapping as a hobby. It was something I did for my friends and just played around on ideas and stuff like that.

Nothing can stop me from loving my brother.

To be on this set today, I feel very blessed for the second chance and for the opportunity, my record company believing in me and everybody here just showing me so much love and support.

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.

I think creativity becomes really beautiful and magical when you allow it to do what it's needing you to do.
