I always wanted to be a youth influencer.

I'm always up for challenges.

You have to sacrifice sometimes. There are so many things in life you might want to do, but you have to know when to let go.

When they ask who is your biggest influence, I always say Pharrell: whether it is music or fashion, I'm a big fan.

Look, the media are trapped by changes in the technology and business of their industry.

It is important to distinguish between the power of the Internet to make the great change it can, and the limits and vulnerabilities of that change without real-time political mobilization deployed globally to protect those who venture out, especially in closed societies, into the heady new vistas it offers.

In general, I think people should be skeptical of the Internet as a reference tool because so much of what's on it is unreliable and costumed - a hall of mirrors.

I'd say there was a fair amount of skepticism at the time about whether the Internet held any promise. And of course I felt that it did.
