"What’s important is that we live our lives with a smile and with a heart, because we are so lucky."

"I felt so proud showing the world that I come from the land known for its people - their laughter, smile, spirit & warmth no matter where in the world they are."

"I know we didn’t get as far as we wanted to here, but I don’t want anyone to be sad, okay? Remember what Coach Tai said, Happy Happy Heartstrong. What’s important is that we live our lives with a smile & with a heart, because we are so lucky."

"When I was a little girl, I never dreamt of becoming a beauty queen. Not because I didn't want to, but because I never believed I could. And so, standing here tonight, I hope I remind you never to limit yourself, because one day, your crazy dreams (like mine) just might come true."
