She said, “I’m always going to make music, I’m always going to go on stage, I’m always going to do pop stuff, I pinky promise. But I don’t think doing it at the rate I’ve been doing it for the past 10 years is where I see the next 10 years.”
The Victorious alum shared that connecting again with the part of herself who began with musical theater and someone who loved comedy, and it healed her to do that– “finding roles to use these parts of myself and put them in little homes and characters and bits and voices and songs.”
The Positions singer added, “Whatever makes sense, or whatever roles we see fit, or where I could really do a good job or honor the material, I would really love to. I think it’s a lot better for me. I’m getting emotional.” She said that it was better for her and expressed getting emotional.
