I have nothing against the veil. And I think that, wrongly, many in the West look at the veil as a symbol of oppression. Now, as long as a woman chooses to wear the veil, because that's her belief and because of her own - that's a personal relationship with God, so she should be free to dress in whichever way she wants.

Good teachers teach. Great teachers transform.

My role models are people who can do things; I say to myself, 'I wish I could do that.'

I found that being online has opened a window for me to look into other people's lives... The greatest fear that I have is losing touch.

Being queen is overrated.

Modernity is not about dress codes.

Of course, I tweet. Tweeting is a very personal form of expression. Who else could talk about my son refusing to wear a suit to meet the Pope, my husband flying a helicopter, or take a twitpic from our home?
