I’m a total performer.
I have the time needed to support the album and tour.
I don’t want to abandon one work for the other, and I don’t think I need to sacrifice anything to put my all into either one of them.
I don’t feel I made any sacrifices at all. I’m doing my best to juggle.
I began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget.
I’m involved in some action scenes, so they’ll train me for that. I’ll be working with my acting coach to prepare for my character.
I don’t think about my previous success. I’m happy that the work I’ve done has been very successful.
It’s hard to say what I want my legacy to be when I’m long gone.
I see myself as sexy. If you are comfortable with it, it can be very classy and appealing.
That’s why I work every day. Ev-er-y day. I want to knock people out.
I’m a survivor, and I can handle anything. I’m very confident about that.
There is a bit of acting involved when you get in front of a camera for a video. Even when you perform onstage, you’re putting on a show.
Sensual is being in tune with your sensual self.
Romeo Must Die came at the right time. It was the right vehicle for me.
If you want to go to the mall, you have to take security. But it’s always cool. The kids are amazing.
I wanted to be different and original but still have it be something my fans could get into. There also are some big, beautiful ballads. I told my producers that I wanted tracks that are going to blow up in the clubs, but I also wanted songs that were very melodic and with a lot of instrumentation.
The Matrix is top secret. There isn’t much that can be said right now.
I’m the interpreter. I’m the one who takes your words and brings them to life. I was trained to sing and dance and laugh, and that’s what I want to do.
People are gonna look up to me because I’m young, black, and female.
In film, you are a totally different person than in the video.
