“I wouldn't say that my emotions are extreme. I'd say they are committed. My moods are the equivalent of Madonna's dancing: inappropriate but all-out. If I'm going to be sad, I might as well be the saddest a girl can get. And if I'm happy, I want to be the happiest.

“Iâ€™m a Muslim, we come from a Muslim community and we are very critical of western or American foreign policy. So if Iâ€™ve got the right and if other Muslims have got the right to criticizeâ€¦ likewise everyone else has also got the right to criticize everything else.”
