What does Burma have to give the United States? We can give you the opportunity to engage with people who are ready and willing to change a society.

I'm not the only one working for democracy in Burma - there are so many people who have worked for it because they believe that this is the only way we can maintain the dignity of our people.

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.

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