Mohsin Hamid

I'm not a representative of Pakistan; I'm just an example that Pakistanis are different from each other. I believe it in my fiction and I believe it personally.

Empathy is about finding echoes of another person in yourself.

Growing up in Pakistan in the 1980s, I lived in the shadow of a tyrannical state.

I would never create an image for myself; I'm not that clever.

I'm interested in the psychological exploration of human nature, and it just happens to come in the form of film-making.

I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I'm rooting for the machines.
