"The government has no right to spy on its own citizens."

"I don’t see myself as a hero because what I’m doing is self-interested: I don’t want to live in a world where there’s no privacy."

"I'm not trying to be a martyr. I'm trying to make a difference."

"I don’t want to live in a world where everything I say and do is recorded."

"Privacy is not something that I'm merely entitled to, it's an inherent right."
