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.

Even now, and you can look at me, am I a savage person? My conscience is clear.

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

It's up to history to judge.

Hunger is the most effective disease.

There's what we did wrong and what we did right. The mistake is that we did some things against the people - by us and also by the enemy - but the other side, as I told you, is that without our struggle there would be no Cambodia right now.
