Well, one thing, you got to stand in a courtroom and listen to a judge sentencing you to 25 years in prison before you realize that freedom of expression can no longer be taken for granted.

I believe in the freedom of expression, unequivocally - though, as I have written before, I wish more people would understand that freedom of expression is not freedom from consequence.

I defend both the freedom of expression and society's right to counter it. I must pay the price for differing. It is the natural way of things.

I always strive for freedom: freedom of thought and expression.

I believe in absolute freedom of expression. Everyone has a right to offend and be offended.

Freedom of expression is very important.

I believe in freedom of speech, but I believe we should also have the right to comment on freedom of speech.

I feel like freedom of speech is one of the great things in this country and the freedom to do what you feel is right.

We should be tolerant, fair, open, and we should understand the rights that all people have in our society.

My idea of freedom is that we should protect the rights of people to believe what their conscience dictates, but fight equally hard to protect people from having the beliefs of others imposed upon them.
