I can enjoy anywhere, and I can leave it. Life is about moving on.

Women’s loyalty has to be earned with trust and affection, rather than barbaric rituals. The time has come to leave the old ways of suffering behind

My mother named me after a miracle of nature: Waris means desert flower. The desert flower blooms in a barren environment where few living things can survive.

Because women and girls are not valued equally as human beings, they are treated as less than such. Female genital mutilation is one example of this that has to be stopped.

Every day, women move mountains. It is an insult to have an international women's day.

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

I love the truth. Tell the truth and live the truth, because we've seen enough lies and look what it's doing.

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.

I know what I am fighting for. I am fighting for the most basic rights of innocent children. And that is why I never take the criticism too deep under my skin.

We need to empower women: provide them with work for their own income, and teach them to become independent of men so they will never have to have their children suffering the same torture.

Sometimes I wonder where I am from. I am either way ahead or I come from another world. I don't recognise this world.

We know how it ends practically before it starts. That's why stories appeal to us. They give us the clarity and simplicity our real lives lack.

Some people said beware of enemies. Some said beware of friends and some said beware of frenemies, but the most dangerous people are those that will hurt you and still play the victim.

What holds people together long enough to discover their power as citizens is their common inhabiting of a single place.

There are gems of thought that are ageless and eternal.

My parents never said I had to be 16 to date, but that has been the rule for all my friends.

We are not servants of some God; we are 'our own gods?'

If i am ever given the captaincy, I will be very tight on my players to keep them in line.

I like to do movies that provoke rather than reinforce conservative values.

I found myself pinned to the hallway wall by six feet, two inches of hard, hot male.

Isolation is the sum total of wretchedness to a man.
