At one point I thought changing my name might help with privacy, but that was before the Internet.

I use the PhotoReady Foundation almost every day, and their lip glosses are fantastic.

I actually happened to be in Haiti right before the earthquake in 2010. I was there already with the organization I work with now, Artists for Peace and Justice, visiting the primary school that I had adopted, the Academy for Peace and Justice in Port-au-Prince. I came back, and within days, the earthquake happened.

When you're in a romantic relationship, of course, there is a lot more compromise and you have to be a lot more unselfish.

We fall in love with one version of someone and we expect them to stay that way, but they never do.

You're 30: You know stuff now. Your 20s were for 'ducking up,' as my auto-correct would say, and learning from those mistakes. (For instance, never again will I convince myself that sleep is for sissies and go straight from a party to the airport. You will not 'sleep on the plane'; you'll vomit in the security line. Go to bed.)

I'm pretty low-key; you'll often find me in jeans, a T-shirt and sweatshirt.
