“I realised it is impossible to live with the rules they give Saudi wom...” — Manal al-Sharif Quote

I realised it is impossible to live with the rules they give Saudi women. Just impossible. You trying to do everything by the book, but you can never stay pure.

The rain begins with a single drop

I'm a normal woman, a normal person, and I just want to drive.

In the Saudi system, women are considered inferior. No matter our age, we have male guardians. We must get permission from men to attend school, to work, to marry, to travel overseas - even to have basic medical procedures.

All I did was ask for rights. I didn't attack anyone. I didn't harass anyone. I didn't oppose the system or the country or the authority. All I said is, 'Why can't I drive?'

We are trying to make football so pure and sterile it becomes unrealistic.

When it comes to pure will, I'm the toughest guy you'll ever meet with that.

For 30 years, I lived in pure hell.

My music has to be pure.

I've always aimed to create something pure.
