I do like to have fun. I don't need alcohol to have fun.

America is the land of opportunity, and people can live in America and be who they want to be. Don't deny your faith. Don't deny your ethnicity. Don't stereotype Muslim women, because as you can see with me, or in Lebanon, for example, beauty is appreciated.

I do like to have fun. I don't need alcohol to have fun.

My family is just an amazing melting pot of wonderful religions and faiths.

I'm not a party animal; I took my job as Miss USA very seriously Sometimes, of course, I want to let it all go. Even though I'm a beauty queen, you're also an unofficial ambassador, and there's a lot of pressure.

Everyone should be proud of who they are and where they come from because America is a big melting pot of diverse ethnicities. It's great to be part of this wonderful country.

I'm Miss USA, not Miss Religion USA.
