Hudson's commitment to her music career demonstrates her strength and dedication to her craft. She disclosed in the talk that she was actually considerably younger than the person who had informed her she was "too old" to be a musician.

The Almost Famous star went on to say further, "It was in my early 30s when someone remarked to me, and it kind of shocked me a little, It's done. Past. You're too old.' And for me, the desire to compose music was just as important as being a performer. So it kind of resonated for a bit, and then I was like, 'Nah, f--- you.’ No one gives me instructions! "
