I think that we need women role models everywhere. I think that it's really hard to imagine yourself as something that you don't see.

I have a boyfriend and a dog, and I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up.

I can't imagine anything that would make the world look more different than if women and girls were unequivocally enfranchised.

I'm always struck by how innately curious kids are about the world around us and how engaged and sensitive they are to what is happening .. and how many kids do want to be engaged and do what to make a difference.

A tin roof is one of the greatest indicators of prosperity in the developing world.

I hope telling stories though 'Making a Difference' - as in my academic work and nonprofit work - will help me to live my grandmother's adage of 'Life is not about what happens to you, but about what you do with what happens to you.'

I'm sorry, I don't talk to the press. Even though I think you're cute.
