I chose a career in obstetrics and gynecology because there's something about honoring women, honoring the birth process. We all come from women, and there's something extraordinary about the mothers who raised us.

Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.

You know, I would say that songwriting is something about the expression of the heart, the intellect and the soul.

I only want to make music because I have a passion for it.

For me, pointing and clicking my phone is absolutely fine. People say that isn't the art of photography but I don't agree.

Twerking is not feminism. Thats what I’m referring to. It’s not — it’s not liberating, it’s not empowering. It’s a sexual thing that you’re doing on a stage; it doesn’t empower you. That’s my feeling about it.

I'm not a saint. I'm not an angel. I'm a human being.
