From her early years in The Cosby Show throughout her That's So Raven years, Raven raised eyebrows and cheek to cheek smile has been on the TV and now the silver screen with College Road Trip. Raven plays college bound Melanie Porter whose eyes are set on attending Georgetown University. However, dad (Martin Lawrence) has a different plan. In an effort between the two to get each other to see their point of view, daughter and dad find themselves always loving each other but really liking each other as well.

On the outside looking in, most people think Hollywood steals the lives of the young. Even some actors and actresses would agree. But not Raven who really loves her work. Executive Producing the project, Raven really has a 'hands-on' commitment to the film.

This film is wild with antics between you and Martin. What had to be your best scene?

Raven: I got to wrestle Martin down to the ground. Physical comedy is one of my favorite things to do. The first time I threw him down I told him I would get a little rough. I put my knee in his back... he was like, Ok, I'm ready.

Your a successful child star. In this film your working opposite Donny Osmond who has walked the walk. What was it like working with him?

Raven: Working with Donny Osmond was a dream. I adore him. I think he is down to earth. He's been in the business as long as he has but is real. Martin Lawrence is the same way. He's professional and funny. Yes. Growing up in the industry, we have a lot of things in common. He knows the struggle that I go through and he overcame all of them and is still working till this day. He's not someone that is bombarded. He still lives a life.

Your not the ordinary Hollywood kid as you've taken on some roles that aren't traditional for young actors.

Raven: Yes. Executive Producer. I walked into the project. I didn't want to shadow anybody. I Executive Produced 'That's So Raven', 'Cheetah Girls.' I sat back and chatted to see how big screen movies were produced and run. I enjoyed myself and I learned a lot.

What makes you want to elevate in your career?

Raven: I think that there are so many talented people to be seen. I want to be able to create that on the talent tip. I want to be able to be a part of something from the ground up. I love the process in creating a movie. I might not have said that line but I wrote it. I don't want to overstay my time. I've been in it since I was 2. As I'm growing up I have some ideas.

Have you mapped out a long range plan for yourself from girl to woman?

Raven: Of course. I think any business that you go to you should right down a plan in Hollywood or America. I definitely take steps... I show people that I am growing. Hopefully they see that.

What are your goals Raven?

Raven: More African American roles and showing women that look like me.
