The only negative thing in Pakistan is not having a democracy.

Spirituality does two things for you. One, you are forced to become more selfless, two, you trust to providence. The opposite of a spiritual man is a materialist. If I was a materialist I would be making lots of money doing endorsements, doing cricket commentary. I have no interest in that.

In a country where half a million die every year only for drinking polluted water, it is more necessary for us to do something for them.

I do not have any fears, no fear of dying, of failure, of anything; that means I am very dangerous for my opponents.

When I came into politics I always thought there was a possibility I would be killed.

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.

Colonialism deprives you of your self-esteem and to get it back you have to fight to redress the balance.
