I always believed that my platform would be speaking to young women that were teenagers that had had their babies and were trying to make it as single moms and still have hope and passions and pursuit of great things in their lives.

With each movie I get better and I'm able to tell incredible stories that move people into motion.

I think, ultimately, people are looking for real heartfelt true stories. They want to engage with them, they want to relate (to) them and, ultimately, they want to have hope.

What we see on the TV screen, or the film screen or what we listen to in music, we have an illusion of what Prince Charming looks like or Cinderella's gonna look like in our life and we forget about what true love really means.

I think this is very applicable to men and women - that they are looking for love in all the wrong places.

We (sometimes) get so far ahead of (ourselves) instead of living out each day that we forget to really appreciate the moment that we're in - even if it's (temporarily) bad.

I think people are tired of being slammed with foul language and sexual content that really has nothing to do with (telling a good story).
