I wrote my own verses. Anything I did, I wrote myself.

That's the beautiful part about acting - you get to play somebody other than yourself. So, I'm open to people who can't sing, people who can, people that sing a little bit, or people that sing a lot.

I'm going to let people know that it's cool to have a child and be young and still be a good mom. It's really tough, but I'm doing it.

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