I'm still useful in my capacity as an arts educator and caretaker for the stray dogs.

What is difficult is to keep the sweet voice with an aggressive message.

Women in Thai society have been placed in the space of the home. It is possible that women have assuredly taken up that place without thinking too critically about it.

I eventually shifted to video. Video opened up new conditions, or freed me from old conditions.

In academic circles, especially, I was criticized for lacking morals, values, and ethics. I'm feeding that angry feminist reading of my work.

Thai society rarely attempts to control literature in the same way that it vigilantly polices visual art. It's ironic because people in this society are more aware of literature than they are of art.

It's surprising that readers don't see challenging writing as morally hazardous, when it might be pushing the same kinds of boundaries as art does.

There might just be a universal expectation to respect the dead, but my work is also born from another aspect of Thai society - that is, the overemphasis on familial bonds.

I extol life so much that I cannot make art.

Microeconomists are wrong about specific things and macroeconomists are wrong about things in general!

I'm fed up with democracy. In a democracy, people vote for the mayors. I wanted to build a city where I will choose the citizens.

What does drunkenness not accomplish? It unlocks secrets, confirms our hopes, urges the indolent into battle, lifts the burden from anxious minds, teaches new arts.

I gravitate towards sort of broken characters who try to be better people.

Vision without execution is delusion. The joy is in the results

I admire them [latinos] for making their way up and opening new opportunities for other Latin newcomers. Latinos have come a long way and the roles and opportunities just seem to be improving.

Marriage is meant to be more about your surrender than about your satisfaction.

I would rather be handsome for an hour than pretty for a week.

People say keeping it real is a hard thing to do. Keeping it real is easy. Being fake and being soft is hard to do.

Being a great father is like shaving. No matter how good you shaved today, you have to do it again tomorrow.
