In 1988, my mother led a nationwide election campaign, wrote a bestselling book, had her first child, and became the youngest and first female prime minister of the Muslim world. All in one year! For her detractors, this wasn't good enough. She was unacceptable because she was a woman.

I would like to help my people in any way I can. It's difficult times in Pakistan and we all have to help.

The court can, and must, only maintain its legitimacy through the dispensation of justice, not by coercion and censorship.

I can't let my mother's death have been in vain. Democracy is the best revenge, and we will have it.

A part of me is a liberal New Yorker involved in politics and certain attitudes about movies. I kind of lost my indie credibility over 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith.' I know I haven't lost it. I just have to go make an independent movie. I just have to do it. Just for me.
