To kill the grass you must also remove the root

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

He who protests is an enemy; he who opposes is a corpse.

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

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.

I did not join the resistance movement to kill people, to kill the nation. Look at me now. Am I a savage person? My conscience is clear.

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