To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.

If you start to just aim for what the audience wants to hear, you're already hamstrung because you don't have any freedom.

When we, through our educational culture, through the media, through the entertainment culture, give our children the impression that human beings cannot control their passions, we are telling them, in effect, that human beings cannot be trusted with freedom.

Most people do not really want freedom, because freedom involves responsibility, and most people are frightened of responsibility.

Freedom is control in your own life.

Freedom is not procured by a full enjoyment of what is desired, but by controlling the desire.

People demand freedom only when they have no power.

Freedom is control in your own life. I have more control now than in the past, and I'm learning the value of saying no. That's very important.

Freedom means the right of people to assemble, organize, and debate openly.

Freedom is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
