"I'm going to lean more to a lot of hard work and a lot of commitment to the gift that I was given,” she told ET. “You know, God blessed me with this form of art, it’s my talent, and once I really realized that this was not something that was just a hobby, but something that I was meant to do and experience, I never let it go. And I’ve continued to respect it and to nurture it.”
Following her nominations, King she was "just elated" with the news.

"I’ve wanted to tell stories through film for as long as I can remember and I feel lucky even to have had the opportunity to do that -- to be included in a community of such inspiring artists is incredibly humbling. A huge congrats to all of this morning’s nominees and especially to my dear friend, Lady Gaga.”

The film has truly been a passion project for everyone involved and we‘ve all become a family," she wrote. I couldn’t be more happy to see Bradley recognized for his incredible vision and performance. And for the recognition for my songwriting collaboration with the amazing Mark, Anthony and Andrew for “Shallow”. And I can’t believe I’m nominated as best actress at the Golden Globes for a film! ?
