(l to r) Dakota Johnson and Tracee Ellis Ross in The High Note. Focus Features.

“I have a really wonderful tribe of friends around me that see me when I can’t see myself, see the best of me when I’m seeing the worst of myself, that really encourage and support me to move in the right direction.”

“Success doesn’t happen alone. We can’t do this thing called life by ourselves… the more support we have, the better… lean toward the people that make you feel good, not the ones that make you feel bad.”

Tracee Ellis Ross shines in The High Note. She sings on-screen for the first time, which is surprising since her mother is Diana Ross, and she’s so good! We talked with the Black-ish actress about facing that fear and the friends that surround her.

The High Note premieres at home Friday, May 29.
