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 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 don't know where to find a good guy. I just think that they're around and I think you have to be good and at some point you'll attract that. I really believe that. First, people should stop looking. The looking thing does not work. Just let love find you.

Nothing can stop me from loving my brother.

I wash my face every night with Ivory soap, and I don't wear much makeup.

I'm my biggest inspiration. And I say this in the most humble way. I've been through so much, just in my life.

I knew I had to make a sacrifice to do what I've always wanted to do.
