I'm Miss USA, not Miss Religion USA.
They say 'expect the worst. ' I say 'Expect the best and even better will happen. '
I do like to have fun. I don't need alcohol to have fun.
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.
I consider myself to be blessed. I have a family that is a mix of different religions and different ethnicities. I hope everyone can look beyond the bikini or beyond the whole beauty pageant stereotype of Miss USA, and realize that what I'm doing is more significant than just that. It represents the United States as a country of opportunity, where you can do anything you want to, and ethnicity and religion cannot stop you.
I understand there are a lot of people looking up to me.

In my dreams of this city I am always lost.
