I certainly was one of the instigators in the 1960s of freedom of expression.
When you become centered, suddenly there is great freedom because you know you are not the mind and you are not the body.
Freedom of expression must be considered sacred and thought can only be corrected by counter thought.
True observation begins when devoid of set patterns; freedom of expression occurs when one is beyond system.
The law is agnostic about truth.
I will follow anyone... and invite everyone... too unite and defend the freedom of expression.
Akbar Ganji is a human rights activist in Iran and he works on freedom of expression and he does his job very well.
Frankly, in order for us to have a healthier arts eco-system funders need to insulate their relationships with artists from the influence of moneyed interests, lobbying groups, and politics. The funders shouldn't have to parse their words, or say one thing to one group and another to another. One statement, freedom of expression, end of story.
I shall stand for freedom of thought and expression in a place where it has been trampled and penalized.
What I like about mixing fiction and non-fiction is being able to fully explore an idea without being bound by genre. If you scratch under any surface there are histories for everything, aren't there? And there's unknown women's history in everything, too. It all gets simplified because its complexity is more than you can stand sometimes. So you need full freedom of expression.
There has to be a cut-off somewhere between the freedom of expression and a graphically explicit free-for-all.
No one can give you freedom but you.
