As a war correspondent and a mother, I've learned to live in two different realities... but it's my choice. I choose to live in peace and witness war - to experience the worst in people but to remember the beauty.

The hardship of living in a refugee camp made me psychologically strong.

Once a refugee, always a refugee. I can't ever remember not being all right wherever I was, but you don't give your whole allegiance to a place or want to be entirely identified with the society you're living in.

My commitment to refugees comes from a very personal place.

I had my foot in both worlds. I knew what I didn't want, and so I had to make a choice, just like N.W.A. made choices.

My experience as a refugee had made me strong; I could survive anything, even the world of fashion.

The way I choose to live my own life rates time and space as real luxuries.

I come from a family of refugees. I'm used to surviving and going with the flow, and what happened to me was just life.

Sometimes doors open and other close and you have to figure out which one you're going to take. I'm always for the one that's challenging. That's where I think you live your life to the fullest.

You don't choose. I just go where the work is.
