I've been coming to Cambodia off and on, six months of the year usually.

When you're reading from a different language that's different from your own, it's not the same as being fluent.

All throughout my work, even in the United States, I have worked with the greater Cambodian community.

In This Body Mystery, even though it was written in the voice of people with HIV/AIDS, it's about how people come to accept their fate and their sickness. It's about accepting the way your life is.

Art is really about how you capture different things you see around you and bring them into forms and words and shapes and meaning.

How am I placing myself in the world of other people around me? For me, I feel that I am not really alone, that others can feel it too. I see art in this way.
