As a director, I hoped that I was able to help the actors by giving them the space and the respect they need and the trust. I gave them what I always felt I needed when I was working.

I never save things and I never take pictures. I wanna live in the moment. I don't wanna be focusing on the past.

I guess that I've always wanted to be a Bond villain.

People say that you're going the wrong way when it's simply a way of your own.

I don't think the money people in Hollywood have ever thought I was normal, but I am dedicated to my work and that's what counts.

I'm somebody who works within Cambodia, with Cambodians. I work alongside the artists and society to work from within, so that is the focus, and from that I hope everybody who believes in democracy, in certain freedoms, will get louder, will grow their voices.

Cause a little trouble. It’s good for you.
