It's pretty rare that I watch a movie now without seeing the script in a way that I hate, where I can see the stage directions and the choices that the actors are making.

I'm not a runner, and I always dreamed about just throwing on my sneakers and really knocking everyone's socks off with my joy of traversing the world by foot.

I wear a lot of boyish stuff, but I prefer to throw a fur coat on top just for the hell of it.

The first two or three movies I did, I'd be around famous co-stars and totally pretend like I didn't care, but inside, I was shaking. I've been weaning myself off that.

Be fervent in God, and let nothing grieve you, whatever you encounter.

There's "good" in all things. You just have to find it.

We who were loved will never unlive that crippling fever.

Marriage is the operation by which a woman's vanity and a man's egotism are extracted without an anaesthetic.

Now the canvas is not just my country Pakistan, but now the canvas is the entire world. Now the canvas is the entire ummah (Muslim nation).

The criteria for architecture after the tsunami is humbleness

Enjoy the insult as you deliver it, before you learn its cost.

The path of violence has not yielded anything. Shed guns and adopt the path of peace, unity, goodwill and brotherhood.
