QUOTES

I remind myself of the power of thought and how it's my obligation as a citizen (and student) of humanity to propel compassion

"I think that the celebrity is a really important thing, because we have the voice that's recognizable, that can educate people to make a difference and empower them to make a difference, and to also get things in motion with the people in charge that can effect change."

"Words cannot fully express the devastation and horror caused by NTDs. Until now, these diseases have been hidden in the shadows, but working with the Global Network, I am focused on bringing this tragedy to the public eye."

"What can we do to make the world's children a priority..."
