Fashion is fun, ridiculously fun. But it's base and it's wrong. You're not doing anything good for the world. You're just saying, 'Buy it, buy it, buy it.

Female genital mutilation targets little girls, baby girls - fragile angels who are helpless, who cannot fight back. It's a crime against a child, a crime against humanity. It's abuse. It's absolutely criminal and we have to stop it.

Personal style? I don't really believe in that. Whatever is comfortable.

When I became successful as a model in the United States, I knew that my chance to be heard had come and so I took it.

I belong nowhere and to no one.

I always knew, from the very day of my own mutilation, that I would one day fight against this practice. I did not know how and when, but I knew that I would fight it.

Give love and share happiness with the people around you, and never give up fighting for what you believe in.
