I came to carry out the struggle, not to kill people.

I do not reject responsibility - our movement made mistakes, like every other movement in the world. But there was another aspect that was outside our control - the enemy's activities against us.

The first time I heard of Tuol Sleng, it was on the Voice of America. I listened twice.

I'm quite modest. I don't want to tell people I'm a leader.

Since he is of no use anymore, there is no gain if he lives and no loss if he dies.

I'm quite satisfied on one thing: If we had not carried out our struggle, Cambodia would have become another Kampuchea Krom in 1975.

No gain in keeping, no loss in weeding out.
