Oh, you know, I think it was definitely a little pressure, to remake something like 'Fame'.

I think a lot of young people don't realize the price of fame is a lot higher than they imagine.

I want to be back on Broadway one day. That's a dream of mine. There's nothing like live theater, and I think it's so important for me to be able to be on stage with an audience that responds.

Singing is my passion and something that I still love to do and I'm always going to want to do it.

I'm a true singer who grew up singing in church, so I love singing my heart out.

As a black actress you've got to work doubly hard. But it doesn't ever get me to the point where I give up on myself. It just motivates me to be more prepared, focus and disciplined. That's why I care so much about doing black films and making sure that we represent and are represented correctly.
