A few years ago, Stoner spoke to BuzzFeed about her life now and her childhood fame.

Stoner said that \"when Missy comes on the radio or in public, I immediately pause, feel so sentimental, and start replaying memories in my head.\"

She also revealed her favorite video of Missy's that she danced in was in fact \"Work It.\"

\"My favorite video to film was 'Work It' because it began the incredible road ahead. Missy was protective and thoughtful of us kids, removing us from the mature scenes and using the clean version when we filmed,\" she added.
