Is not liberty the destruction of all despotism - ...

And what is liberty, whose very name makes the heart beat faster and shakes the world? Is it not the union of all liberties - liberty of conscience, of education, of association, of the press, of travel, or labor, or trade?

In short, is not liberty the freedom of every person to make full use of his faculties, so long as he does not harm other persons while doing so?

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.

I think a child should be allowed to take his father's or mother's name at will on coming of age. Paternity is a legal fiction.

I would often find myself, at the age of 21, at midnight, running down a dark street on my own with 10 men chasing me. And the fact they had cameras in their hands made that legal.

I remember when I took Quentin Tarantino with me to a very private screening of the documentary 'Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired,' which shows some of the legal irregularities of his case. I was involved by the film, and it was an amazing experience to see people weep at the end of it.

I'm overly excited to finally announce this amazing global partnership deal back home with EMI Music. I know I have mentioned doing music in the past but for legal reasons I was not in a position to release any new music.
