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.

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

I came to join the revolution, not to kill the Cambodian people. Look at me now. Am I a violent person? No. So, as far as my conscience and my mission were concerned, there was no problem.

Exterminate the 50 million Vietnamese and purify the masses of the [Cambodian] people.

The sick are victims of their own imagination.
