My parents wanted me to be a lawyer. But I don't think I would have been very happy. I'd be in front of the jury singing.

I'll just get better as I go along because I'm open to getting better. If you have the goods, there's nothing to be afraid of. If somebody doesn't have the goods, they're insecure. I don't have that problem

I think that's what a partnership is - you take the positives from both people and incorporate them.

Getting to play the part of Selena was life-changing for me, i got to immerse myself in her life, got to know her family, her home, her culture ... every part of her story. It was a special time in my life both professionally and personally. Playing her not only opened doors for me in the film world, but it inspired me to start my own music career. In a lot of ways, I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't had that experience.

It's a real roller-coaster ride if you're lucky to have longevity in this business - you have to be able to ride those waves.

For me, love is the never-ending question. It is confusing. It is the answer, but it is also inundated with contradictions and complications.

Always follow your heart. Sometimes it's gonna hurt - but you're going to be fine.
