Los Angeles, Dec 6 (NationPress) Singer Rita Ora, who rose to prominence after being signed by rapper Jay-Z's Roc Nation in 2009, expresses her desire to pursue a diverse range of roles beyond just music.

The 35-year-old artist, who gained international acclaim in 2012 with her chart-topping singles, including R.I.P. and How We Do (Party), has also secured significant acting opportunities, portraying Mia, Christian Grey's sister, in the Fifty Shades of Grey film series, as well as serving as a judge on The Masked Singer.

During her appearance at The Red Sea International Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, she shared with The Daily Mail: "Many artists restrict themselves to a single category, but that shouldn't be the case. I view myself as a perpetual learner. Whenever you step into a room, remember that you possess power."

With her mother, Vera Sahatciu, being her primary source of inspiration, Ora believes that if other artists can branch out into various projects, like Madonna transitioning into acting, she can do the same, as reported by female.co.uk.

The Hot Right Now artist remarked: "There are numerous women who have excelled for various reasons, including Madonna in music, Blondie, and even Cher. They have explored multiple avenues, and that’s precisely what I am passionate about. It’s exhilarating to witness these boundaries being shattered."

Ora aims to inspire future generations.

She stated: "I could discuss topics like this for hours. In summary, there are countless moments that we as women have experienced, from equal pay to being hesitant about discussing menopause and everything we encounter as women.

"It's as if these subjects are being questioned, and I wonder why it’s a topic when women should simply support one another in the same space. I envision a world where this is the norm, and I feel fortunate to embrace such an environment, striving to sustain it for future generations."
