I think that there are certain feelings and things you can convey in a simple form that people can see and understand.

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

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.

I used to despair about the condition of the world, to feel a sense of hopelessness; now I find more and more that I need to focus on what I can do, however little it is, to help others.

I'd like to do more collaborations because collaboration creates different viewpoints.

It's really hard when you read literature in a language that's not your own. There are all these cultural references you have to be born into that particular language to get.

You get closer to your own humanity by understanding the stories of other people and the struggles they have.
