I Was Always A Singer

I Feel Like, When We're Kids, You're Sold Into This Fairy Tale Of What Love Is. That Prince Charming's Gonna Come Along And Save You And You're Gonna Live Happily Ever After. They're Gonna Rescue Me From The Bronx, And We're Gonna Go Off And Live In A Castle Somewhere And It's Gonna Be Awesome. He's Gonna Love Me Forever, And I'm Gonna Love Him Forever, And It's Gonna Be Real Easy. And It's So Different Than That.

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. In A Lot Of Ways, I Wouldn't Be Where I Am Today If I Hadn't Had That Experience.
