If you can imagine the area and the land in Cambodia, I mean there are hardly any roads in big parts of the country. The roads they have, in the rainy season, become just mud.

Be hated. One does not have to be evil to be hated. In fact, it’s often the case that one is hated precisely because one is trying to do right by one’s own convictions.

There are a great many bad people in the world, and if you are not offending them, you must be bad yourself.

Whether it's going to happen or not, we don't know.
