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.

Marriage is such a mark of adulthood in my mind.

I am not going to talk about my personal life anymore. You have to learn that lesson sometime.

I travel the world visiting global health programs as an ambassador for the global health organization, PSI, and sometimes the disconnect I see is truly striking: people can get cold Coca Cola, but far too infrequently malaria drugs; most own mobile phones, but don't have equal access to pre-natal care.

Growing up in the public eye was really tough. When you're 14 and your body is changing, your life is changing, and people are watching every step you make, it's really hard to deal with. But I was pretty lucky, people didn't watch me that closely.

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

I love rollercoasters, thrill-seeking, all of that is fun.
