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

I want you to know that everything I did, I did for my country.

If you wish to live exactly as you please, the Angkar will put aside a small piece of land for you.

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

In Khmer we have a saying that when one is both quite sick and old there remains only one thing, that you die.

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.

Whoever wishes to blame or attack me is entitled to do so. I regret I didn't have enough experience to totally control the movement. On the other hand, with our constant struggle, this had to be done together with others in the communist world to stop Kampuchea becoming Vietnamese.
