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.

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.

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.

A smile is so sexy, yet so warm. When someone genuinely smiles at you, it's the greatest feeling in the world.

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

In terms of the fantasy wedding thing, I can kind of cross off the island beach thing. Maybe at sunset or something.

I do think it's possible to change for the better.
