"My first song that I remember falling love with was a Whitney
Houston song: 'I Will Always Love You,'" Rihanna shared. "It was really
inspiring and it made me develop a passion for music, so really, she's
partly responsible for me being here in this industry."

The "We Found Love" singer added she understands the type of commitment needed to undertake such a meaningful part.
"That would be something that I would have to give my entire life to
do, because I would really want to pull it off," Rihanna told reporters.
"That's a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job."
