I've always said that the more coordinated the efforts of the international community are, the better it will be for democracy in Burma.

One should mature over 20 years.

We must make democracy the popular creed...If we should fail to do this, our people are bound to suffer... That is what my father said. It is the reason why I am participating in this struggle.

The important thing is Burma needs to end the civil war and for this to happen both sides must want to end the war.

There is nothing to compare with the courage of ordinary people whose names are unknown and whose sacrifices pass unnoticed. The courage that dares without recognition, without the protection of media attention, is a courage that humbles and inspires and reaffirms our faith in humanity.

You must remember that democracy is made up not only of the executive, but the legislature and the judiciary.

I felt that it was my duty not to senselessly waste my time. And since I didn't want to waste my time, I tried to accomplish as much as possible.
