I love music and I guess I have less expectations or pressure to kind of put on myself because the music hasn't been some huge sensation.

I'd say the key to a good relationship is communication .

I'm slightly controlling. I'm an Aries and I like things to have an order. I get slightly disturbed and I get slightly distressed and flustered if things go awry.

I've had the opportunity to play the drug dealer who gets gang-raped, and I'm like, "For what reason? Doing it just to do it? To just show people that I can be sexy or dark?" I don't want to do something just to make that point. It needs to happen organically, and I'm really confident it will. I'm a pretty patient person, and I'll wait until we find the right stuff.

I like being friends with other women who are supportive of women. I think that is important.

Tackling malaria in a country like the Central African Republic is a huge uphill battle, and my experiences there have been a healthy dose of reality, fueling my own sense of urgency to do my part in reducing the preventable suffering of the incredible women I met.

I think I found it difficult though to keep a straight face when we were actually working and I wasn't supposed to be laughing.
