Don't Push Your Weaknesses, Play With Your

I Had Such A Reputation, And It Was Sad Because I Felt Like It So Didn't Represent Who I Really Was.

Getting To Play The Part Of Selena Was Life-changing For Me, I Got To Immerse Myself In Her Life, Got To Know Her Family, Her Home, Her Culture ... Every Part Of Her Story. It Was A Special Time In My Life Both Professionally And Personally. Playing Her Not Only Opened Doors For Me In The Film World, But It Inspired Me To Start My Own Music Career.

I Love Myself Enough To Walk Away From That Now.
