One is actually the democracy here, you know, people are, people assume that this election means that there is democracy in Pakistan. There is no democracy.
I believed in myself. I never imagined myself as just an ordinary player.
Talent or intelligence doesn’t matter, Its your dreams that will decied how big a person you will become
Because I'm anti-war, I've been called pro-Taliban,
I am called an Islamic fundamentalist by Rushdie. My critics in Pakistan say I am a Zionist agent. I must be doing something right.
