I have family connections with Salisbury through my godmother. Her sister lived there, so I have very fond memories of visiting the city as a child.
I met India Arie, who is one of my favorite artists of all time. It was really sweet; I was broken up with a month before, and she stayed up texting me all night and was helping me through it. Her text message looks like a song of hers. She's sort of become my fairy godmother.
Always a godmother, never a mother. That sucks. I've got to get me one of those little accessories.
The public has become my fairy godmother.
Many people don't realize that June Carter Cash was my godmother. She and mother were very tight.
One musical that deeply influenced me - and continues to do so - is the 1997 ABC TV movie of Rodgers and Hammerstein's 'Cinderella,' starring Brandy, with Whitney Houston as the Fairy Godmother and Whoopi Goldberg as the prince's mom.
'My Fair Godmother's' movie rights sold to the producer who did 'Freaky Friday,' 'Princess Diaries,' and one of my favorite movies - 'Sky High.'
I knew that I was loved. And that's such an important thing. And, of course, at such an early age, you take it for granted. Of course your parents love you. Of course Mrs. Hubert across the street loves you and your godmother loves you and your grandparents love you.
'Granted' is about a lively young woman who does a fairy godmother a good turn and is given a wish as her reward.
I grew up with a tribe of amazing women, but certainly my mother and my godmother really modeled women as actors.
