I hope I've been able to show other young girls that as long as you work hard and you're committed to fight for your education that anything's possible.

I knew from a young age that I wanted to be an actor. I never even thought about other careers. The acting field is certainly not the path many Indian parents encourage their children to take but mine were very supportive. They wanted me to have an education but understood that this is what I wanted to do.

I have a greater goal - to empower young people through music education.

I am a firm believer in education and have worked very hard to tell young Latinos that they must go to college and that if possible they should pursue an advanced degree. I am convinced that education is the great equalizer.

I think the most important issue for all of us is our economy and jobs and creating opportunities for young people to be able to get the education that you need to be able to afford to go to college.

I'd like to work with kids in special education - younger kids.

There have been studies that clearly state that children who are exposed to arts education at a young age will in fact do markedly better in their SAT tests.

The Obama administration now has regulations that tells them that they can no longer promote marriage to these young girls. They can no longer promote marriage as a way of avoiding poverty and bad choices that they make in their life. They can no longer even teach abstinence education. They have to be neutral with respect to how people behave.

In fact I believe that we need better sex education in our own culture here in America so that young folk learn about things like venereal disease before they encounter it.

In the world today a young lady who does not have a college education just is not educated.
