It’s funny. When I started working at MTV - I mean, I was always a really socially active, aware kid and teen and even in university and then the moment I started working in the entertainment industry it kind of, I mean it’s a place where you all of a sudden you’re thinking about how you look and how much you weigh and what people think of you and for a while I sort of got lost in that world. And it’s something that we’re all affected by and it’s really easy to get lost in that.

So when Craig kind of asked me to get involved with Free the Children and be the ambassador and I was send on this trip to India all of a sudden I was forced to re-evaluate my sense of happiness, what makes me happy. At the end of the day, I discovered it’s no the things I own, it’s not you know, how I look, it’s I find happiness in making other people’s lives better and I think that’s where we all can derive a true sense of happiness. So, it really has shifted my whole perspective and I get to think about things and do things in the world other than talk about The Hills, which is important.
