Tackling malaria in a country like the Central African Republic is a huge uphill battle, and my experiences there have been a healthy dose of reality, fueling my own sense of urgency to do my part in reducing the preventable suffering of the incredible women I met.
Hope is the most exciting thing there is in life.
It's weird to have to jump in to being married with somebody, but it was really easy.
Having this other career in music made me work harder as an actress. It's made me more professional.
Growing up in the public spotlight and having insecurities like every other girl, I really know what it's like to feel self-conscious.
Developing a relationship with someone you admire, who can encourage you to reach your full potential, is something that everyone can benefit from.
Those situations are weird. You're in a room, and I knew they already loved this guy [for the role], so you're like, "OK, this is a different dynamic."
I want to go to college to study journalism. I want to speak French fluently, to travel. My mom was a journalist and it's in my blood.
I am not going to talk about my personal life anymore. You have to learn that lesson sometime.
I can plunk out enough chords to write a song, but I'm completely afraid to play guitar in front of other people. It's a fear of failure, I guess.
There's so much to explore! And personally, I don't know. It's such a crapshoot.
I just don't want to be known as the actress who can sing. I want to be known as the singer who can act, too. It's great cross-promotion.
I have ambitions to do a Broadway record one of these days and get in the studio with like, a real orchestra. I'm a big musical theatre geek.
I don't cook very well at all. I'm the girl that can't make scrambled eggs.
