I respect all religions. What I don't respect is when people use religion to attack others. I've met people across the world, in the middle of nowhere, who are just trying to survive and all they have is religion. In some why, it helps them, and I wouldn't take it away from them. There are also people who use to to hate and kill. I don't consider them religious people.

I'm odd looking. Sometimes I think I look like a funny muppet.

For whatever reason, I don't know why, but Cambodians learned something in their suffering and their struggle that we have lost touch with.

I prefer directing to acting. There is huge freedom that comes from being behind the camera. It brings a lot of responsibilities as well, but is intensely rewarding. Particularly the chance to help draw out the best in young actors.

I always play women I would date.

The beautiful thing about such moments in life is that there is so much clarity. You know what you live for and what matters.

There is no shame in being a survivor of sexual violence. The shame is on the aggressor.
