“‘Dreamgirls’ changed my life, obviously,” she said about the film in which she portrayed Effie White and won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for in 2007. “But every character relates. Every character kind of parallels to your life. So I want to say all of them, but I’ll say ‘Dreamgirls’ had the biggest impact on my life.”
Jennifer also acknowledged her role as Aretha Franklin. She added, “But also ‘Respect’… Everything I do is from the heart and is dear to me. So I feel that way about everything I do, including being here. I don’t take it lightly… When I’m in it, I’m in it.”
JHud also told her fans that she doesn’t take their support for granted. “You may see me on the street and say, ‘Hey, I remember you, do you remember me?’ I’ll be like, ‘Yes, I remember you, because we’re here together.’”
