I was happy to kind of always scoot under the radar.

Although birth control is a part of my plan now, it won't necessarily be a year from now. I want to use my platform to inspire other women out there.

I guess I have sort of an atypical relationship with my mom for someone my age, because I think I started so young with the music thing and I had my parents always on the road with me. So at a time when I think I should have been rebelling like in high school, they were actually my best friends.

Hope is the most exciting thing there is in life.

I love the idea of getting up early on Sundays and walking to the market to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. It's a good way to start my day, and it makes me feel like I've accomplished something before other people are even awake.

Pneumonia is a disease that often flies under the radar of not just the public but even the global health community. It kills more children under 5 years old every year than AIDS, malaria, and measles combined.

I write a lot on airplanes actually because it's completely isolating; there's no one to talk to, there's nothing to do.
