Well, sometimes if I go out to dinner with my family, people will come up to me and put their hand across my plate for me to shake, sometimes when I have a bite of food in my mouth. I find this a bit disturbing.

People go out of their way to show the love and respect for me. It is very gratifying.

I am not a madman or a nut.

I am not at all surprised at what my adversaries think of me abroad and what my fellow countrymen think of me at home.

There's no real security anyhow, show me a single person who's managed to cheat the Angel of Death. Kennedy died, Saadaat Died, Zia-ul-Haq died, when it's your time to go, it's just your time to go.

Unfortunately, my adversaries belong to a category of people who did not even spare our God, our Prophets and our most honest and sincere leaders.

No money on earth can buy the love and affection that has been given to me by a grateful nation.

I have to ask Allah's forgiveness and not get angry, because they come to me out of love, and it's not fitting that I should turn to them in hatred.

I am proud of my work for my country.
