“I'm Miss USA, not Miss Religion USA.” — Rima Fakih

My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer when I was 13 and it was something we weren't really aware of as a family.

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 believe that birth control is just like every other medication even though it's a controlled substance.

I understand there are a lot of people looking up to me.
