I think when the people in Burma stop thinking about whether or not they're free, it'll mean that they're free.

It could achieve a lot if everyone in Burma could stop saying something is good if it is not good, or say something is just if it is not just.

Sometimes I think that a parody of democracy could be more dangerous than a blatant dictatorship, because that gives people an opportunity to avoid doing anything about it.

I don't want Burma to be a basket case forever.

It is not power that corrupts but fear.

My top priority is for people to understand that they have the power to change things themselves.
