I didn't take the decision [to get married] lightly. I ventured into it realistically. But life takes you places you wouldn't have expected. I'm really content with what was in the cards for me.
There are parallels between the music and film worlds, but they're really very different. I feel like they're just two different ways to channel my creativity.
I learned what love is from loving you.
Stupid cupid you're a real mean guy, I'd like to pick your wings so you can't fly, I am in love and it's a crying shame, and I know that you're the one to blame, hey, hey set me free, stupid cupid, stop picking on me.
I've had the opportunity to play the drug dealer who gets gang-raped, and I'm like, "For what reason? Doing it just to do it? To just show people that I can be sexy or dark?" I don't want to do something just to make that point. It needs to happen organically, and I'm really confident it will. I'm a pretty patient person, and I'll wait until we find the right stuff.
Love is like nothing else on this earth, but only when it is shared with someone wonderful like you.
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.
Hope is the most exciting thing there is in life.
It's weird to have to jump in to being married with somebody, but it was really easy.
Having this other career in music made me work harder as an actress. It's made me more professional.
Growing up in the public spotlight and having insecurities like every other girl, I really know what it's like to feel self-conscious.
Developing a relationship with someone you admire, who can encourage you to reach your full potential, is something that everyone can benefit from.
Those situations are weird. You're in a room, and I knew they already loved this guy [for the role], so you're like, "OK, this is a different dynamic."
I want to go to college to study journalism. I want to speak French fluently, to travel. My mom was a journalist and it's in my blood.
