“As Miss Universe, you have to be confident in who you are. Miss Universe has to overcome her fears and teach others to do the same. And nothing is ever too much to ask for. That is exactly who I am.”

“As a young girl, I would watch the Miss South Africa competition wishing with all my heart that one day I, too, would be able to walk on that stage, just like those glamorous women I saw on television.”

“I love to experience a new country's culture and history in a fun and memorable way.”

“The problem with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than their minds.”

“I don't have any fears.”

“My feeling about fears is, if you voice your fears, they may come true. I'm superstitious enough to believe that.”
