I'm often in the company of adults, so it's nice to meet girls my age or younger.
I'm not a character like Rapunzel or Cinderella; my story looks like any other.
I will only miss school for an engagement if it is going to bring real change.
I enjoy science, and I'm a very curious person. I always want to know the reason behind everything, big or small.
I don't know what would I do in future; I'll decide it later.
I might be afraid of ghosts and like dragons and those things, but I'm not afraid of the Taliban.
Dear sisters and brothers, I am not against anyone.
I don't have a phone, but I do have an iPad.
I cannot believe how much love people have shown me.
There are so many figures in our history that did not believe they could make a change, and they did.
On the day when I was shot, and on the next day, people raised the banners of 'I am Malala'. They did not say 'I am Taliban.'
I think I have a right to live my life the way I like.
I was excited when King's College announced a scholarship for students who are in developing countries.
What I get a bit angry about is the image of women.
