I can plunk out enough chords to write a song, but I'm completely afraid to play guitar in front of other people. It's a fear of failure, I guess.

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

I believe we all share a responsibility to build a healthier, more just and prosperous world.

I consider myself to be a romantic person, and I love the idea of having a soul mate.

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 tend to be really competitive when it comes to Scattergories.

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.
