I was always the first one to break. I'll admit it. I couldn't keep a straight face.

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 carry around a little journal with me, a little notebook and a pen and just write all the time. Not necessarily actually sitting down and writing lyrics, just free-form writing, whatever's going on in my mind.

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.

Someday we'll know if love can move a mountain.

Because I'm in an adult world and I'm really working, my age is just a number. It's not really who I am.

My mom has never been a big meddler and isn't like extremely opinionated or at least just doesn't voice it to me. She's sort of let me come into my own by myself and I think that's just a testament to what my parents did in terms of raising us.
