If every choice you make comes from an honest place, you’re solid and nothing anybody can say about you can rock you or change your opinion. It doesn’t shake me because I know why I do the things I do and I know I come from a good place and so people can judge me however they wish. But I know I’ll continue to do the best I can and be the best I can.

I'm just glad I was able to return to some of that innocence and beauty I had as a child when I started my own family, and my children brought me back some of that spirit.

I'm very careful with my emotions, and I don't let them run free. If I'm upset, it's usually for a very good, very deep reason.

I'm trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply.

I think that if more people saw more things, they wouldn't be able to really help themselves.

I'm hopeful that increased awareness of the issues in Africa will bring about a new wave of progress and activism among young people everywhere.
