YH: What prompted you to recently get involved with the road safety campaign "Not Safe for Wheels" with DoSomething.org and Chevrolet? 

 

KQ: Road safety is an important personal cause to me. I lost a friend to a drunk driving accident at a young age, so when DoSomething.org approached me earlier this year and said they were running a campaign with Chevrolet to help keep young people safe on the road, and asked if I’d star in their PSA, I immediately said yes. I especially liked that the campaign focused on road safety not just for young drivers, but also pedestrians and cyclists, too. It’s been great to see the positive response from young people engaging with the cause. Over 100,000 people have participated in the campaign so far! When I posted the PSA video on my Instagram feed, I had someone comment that she lost her sister to a car accident and seeing this campaign meant so much to her. Another person commented to thank me for being a part of this campaign, because she herself is a teen driver who will benefit from this message. It’s a great feeling to be able to connect with young people on that level and make a positive impact in their lives for an important cause like road safety, and I’m glad that DoSomething.org and Chevrolet asked me to be a part of it. The campaign is open until December 31st, 2019, so young people who want to join or learn more about it can go to DoSomething.org/Kevin.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Road safety is an important cause to me, so of course I said yes when @DoSomething asked me to join their NSFW (Not Safe for Wheels) campaign with @Chevrolet to help keep teens safe on the road. Here’s a little bit of video footage from my road safety sing-a-long (the full length version can be viewed over on DoSomething’s YouTube page). Let me know what you think, and head over to DoSomething.org/Kevin to join the campaign and help us spread the word about road safety! Also, you could even win one of two $2,500 scholarships! I love you all, and let’s please keep our roads safe starting NOW!

YH: What are you most looking forward to doing in the future? (music, acting, anything in general)

 

KQ: Of course I’m looking forward to continue a career in film and music, but what I’m most looking forward to is traveling. There are just so many places I want to go, so many things I want to see. I’ve always appreciated world history and different cultures, so international travel is most appealing to me. My goal is to visit Asia sometime next year, preferably Tokyo or Singapore, but I also wouldn’t mind a trip to eastern Europe, like Budapest or Prague. Regardless, travel is important to me, as the world is a book, and there are many pages to read.

 

YH: What is something you have done recently that scared/intimidated you (does not have to be career-related)?

 

KQ: I have just recently started to open my heart to the idea of spirituality. It really is a journey, and in a way, it’s been like a relationship with myself that I continue to work on over time. I’ve had some really great life moments, but also some really difficult ones, and both the good and bad have broadened my perspective on a sort of “greater plan”. I think it’s tough to fully understand, but those who have also tried to work on it or make sense of it might also already be aware that this journey can be both intimidating and, at times, quite harrowing. Despite that, this journey has become an important part of my life.
