A poor child who receives high-quality early childhood development is 40 percent less likely to need special education, twice as likely to attend college and dramatically more likely to survive childhood.

I'm happy. I have a man who makes me happy. And a family, which is what I most wanted in life.

My little boy (Sasha) is now one-year-old and that makes it easier for me to go back to the studio and work on creating new music.

My songs are the reflection of how I think and how I feel in that moment. But I'm conscious of the fact that artists have a responsibility before the masses and they have to take care with their words.

I consider myself a survivor more than anything else.

I'm a perfectionist in recovery. I'm trying to deal with that monster inside of me that wants to do everything right. Or better than right.

At the current pace of change, we won't have universal access to education in 100 years, let alone five, and that is unacceptable.
