Aung San Suu Kyi

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.

What I have experienced is nothing compared to what political prisoners in prisons suffer.

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 feel that the BBC World Service is not as versatile as it used to be - or perhaps I'm not listening at the right times.

I've always tried to explain democracy is not perfect. But it gives you a chance to shape your own destiny.

The judiciary must be strengthened and released from political interference.

One person alone can't do anything as important as bringing genuine democracy to a country.

Democracy is when the people keep a government in check.

I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons.

Sanctions and boycotts would be tied to serious political dialogue.

A more significant phase should mean serious political dialogue.

The democracy process provides for political and social change without violence.
