Occupation: Pakistani Politician Birth: November 25, 1952
A country that relies on aid? Death is better than that. It stops you from achieving your potential, just as colonialism did..
At the moment we have a ruling class that has one law and the people the other..
Without liberty I have nothing left to use except my body..
I am basically a private person..
And when the pressure was on us, the team handled it very well. One has to learn to play well under pressure..
In fact the experience at Oxford has really helped me later in life..
But I don't need to use politics as a way of making money..
I wanted to be an outstanding player, that was my ambition..
I have fruit trees. Cows for fresh milk, yoghurt. My own wheat. I'm basically self-sufficient..
I did not lose this election, or had a bad result compared with what we might have got because of Islam..
People still laugh at me in politics, they think I won't make it; but I think I will, after Harold Wilson, I will be your next Chancellor to become P….
I do not have any fears, no fear of dying, of failure, of anything; that means I am very dangerous for my opponents..
In Pakistan politics is hereditary..
The team that is going to win is the one that does its homework the best by studying its opponents..
Cricket is a pressure game, and when it comes to an India-Pakistan match the pressure is doubled..
Because I'm anti-war, I've been called pro-Taliban..
The only negative thing in Pakistan is not having a democracy..
You all have to make a new Pakistan. Naya Pakistan is not a slogan - it's a belief..
Talent or intelligence doesn’t matter, Its your dreams that will decied how big a person you will become.
During my 21 years of playing cricket, I have never been approached by anyone or offered a bribe..
When I came into politics I always thought there was a possibility I would be killed..
