Quote

Self-censorship is a lie to yourself; if you are going to be trying to seriously create art, to create literary art, and you decide to hold back, to censor yourself, then you are a fool to yourself and it would be better that you kept your mouth shut and did not speak.

I am seriously opposed to censorship of any sort.

I mean, believe me, I'm not for censorship.

When you're on your own, you have all the self-censorship that everybody has when they try and write. All the little voices that say, 'No, you can't write that, what will they think of that?'

I am still against any kind of censorship. It's a subject in my life that has been very important.

I hate censorship, man. I really do.

I don't believe in censorship in any form.

I'm not for censorship without reason.

Let me be clear: I am not an advocate of censorship.

We can self-censor ourselves for various reasons, but we can't live in a world where some person or some group decides what's offensive and what's not.
