I don't think of myself as unbreakable. Perhaps I'm just rather flexible and adaptable.

I don't seem to have time to breathe. Everything's happening so quickly, and so much is happening all the time.

I have been arrested time and time again, and my colleagues, too. I cannot guarantee that I'll not be arrested again. But it's not something that weighs on my mind. I'll do what I can while I'm free. If they arrest me again, I'll do what I can while I'm under arrest.

I don't believe in professional dissidents. I think it's just a phase, like adolescence.

My attitude is, do as much as I can while I'm free. And if I'm arrested I'll still do as much as I can.

Assuming the chairmanship of ASEAN isn't going to do anything about improving the lives of people.

I do protect human rights, and I hope I shall always be looked up as a champion of human rights.
