I'd rather go to the White House Correspondents' dinner than any awards show.

I'm happiest when I have something to focus my energy on.

There are people in America who are absolutely desperate right now, who have no means to support their families, who have no opportunities to better themselves or their education - and they're not that different from the farmers and working-class people that I visited when I went to Kenya with Oxfam.

I never struggled with trying to figure out what it was I wanted to do or what made the sparks go for me.

My mom was always active. She was always an active voter, whether it was local, state, or federal elections. My mom would take us to polling locations when we were kids.

I don't profess to know how to balance the positive and the negative media attention. It's a gamble every time you put yourself out there, and, certainly, I'm always readjusting to it.

I'm all about fashion, cheeseburgers and bright-red lipstick.
