I read a lot of summaries about the story [ based on the Cyrano de Bergerac. ]. I also watched Roxanne, the movie starring Steve Martin.

I have read some great books recently: "Heaven is For Real," "Bud Not Buddy," and my favorite, "Tiger Eyes."

Singing, dancing, and acting! The part [of Roxie in Let It Shine] was right up my alley. Plus, the thought of playing a rock star was like a dream for me.

I would have to say the best was when my mom formed a company for me. I write out all of the checks for my performance business. I get to see the money I make and how much it takes to do what I do.

Performing of any kind: singing, acting, dancing. I also get really excited during interviews.

Have confidence, do your own thing, find your talent, and work at it to be the best. And always, always have fun!

My dad always told me that I could be anything I wanted, if I was willing to work hard enough to achieve it.
