I would like to do a music person's story, a bio. I've wanted to do Aaliyah forever. But I don't want it to always be like, 'I'm singing again in a movie.'
I love competing. I love a challenge. I love going in and showing people what I can do, proving to them that I can get this part, that I can give you what you want.
When I was, like, 5 years old, I used to pray to have light skin because I would always hear how pretty that little light skin girl was, or I would hear I was pretty to be dark skin. It wasn't until I was 13 that I really learned to appreciate my skin color and know that I was beautiful.
Doing motivational speeches and stuff like that, that's always made me feel good.
I dont wish for anything. Wishing for a million dollars feels greedy. I just wish for the best for me.
Being of service is something that really makes me happy. Being able to tell young kids about something they might never have known without meeting someone with my experiences is what really what I feel it's all about. I feel that's the only way that you get fulfillment out of life.
Whenever I get to talk to young girls like me I always say, 'The only difference between you and I is that I know that I'm special and you just don't know that you are yet.'
Corbin Bleu was my first kiss in life. I was 12, and he was, like, my first kiss for TV It was on the lips!
Working with Ice Cube was so tight. He's cool, and I really like how he does family stuff. My guy friends couldn't believe I was chillin' with him. Dudes love Ice Cube.
I love music and I love acting. I always keep that in the forefront, not all the other distractions around me.
Singing was my first passion. Whenever I sing, I'm always so happy.
I feel like I've reached a point where music has become just as much a priority to me as my acting, and I'm glad to feel that way.
I changed the pressure from negative to positive. So, instead of thinking everybody wanted to see me fail, I decided everybody wanted to see me win, since I wanted to see myself win.
Often, kids don't appreciate the choices available, as if it's either the street or nothing.
