From Queen Rania of Jordan
My role models are people who can do things; I say to myself, 'I wish I could do that.'
Twitter's a great way to tell people across the world what I care about and, hopefully, motivate them to join me in furthering my causes.
To achieve a lasting peace in the Middle East takes guts, not guns.
Tweeting is a very personal form of expression. Who else could talk about my son refusing to wear a suit to meet the Pope, my husband flying a helicopter, or take a twitpic from our home?
Well, my husband is supportive of my work, like advocating for dialogue between cultures on YouTube.
Eighty percent of my life is normal like any other mother. I worry about my children, if they're doing all right. I worry that my husband is doing well.
The average Jordanian has much in common with the average American in terms of the values that we share, the fact that we all value the family unit, our work ethic.
I found that being online has opened a window for me to look into other people's lives... The greatest fear that I have is losing touch.
As a child I sometimes used to travel to the West Bank to visit my family, so I know what the checkpoints felt like. I knew what it was like to live under occupation.
