That's The Beautiful Part About Acting -

I Definitely Felt Like I Needed A Break, Because When You Do So Much, You're Not Able To Appreciate The Things That You Accomplish.

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've Figured Out The Secret. Your Mind Is Your Power; You Have To Work With Your Mind And Work With Your Own Thoughts About Your Own Life. If You Spend So Much Time Thinking, "this Industry Is Male-dominated. It's Sexist. It's This. It's That," Then That's What The Picture Will Always Be. I Remember When I Was Coming Up, I Didn't Have Those Thoughts. My Mom Told Me I Could Be Whatever I Wanted To Be And I Could Be As Bright Of A Star As I Was Meant To Be. So, That's Where I Put All Of My Focus And My Thought...into What I Could Do. And I Carry That With Me Now.

I Feel There's So Much Purpose That's Left In Me To Share With People And I'm Just Ready To Use My Gift In The Right Way Because I Know I Have A Gift And It's Unique And Different Than Anybody Else's. I'm Supposed To Do Something With It And I'm Happy That I Know That Now.

I Take Conscious Breaks For Myself 'cause I Like To Rejuvenate And Get My Creative Juices Flowing. I Also Like To Take My Time With My Creativity; I Think It's Important.
