I do not believe in censorship, but I believe we already have censorship in what is called marketing theory, namely the only information we get in mainstream media is for profit.
Sam Sheppard

I don't believe in censorship in any form.
Kathryn Bigelow

I have a problem with censorship by the lawyer - by legal people by the publishing firm, and I may be changing publishers. They don't seem to want to take too many risks with living people.
Kenneth Anger

I know that many writers have had to write under censorship and yet produced good novels; for instance, Cervantes wrote Don Quixote under Catholic censorship.
Guillermo Cabrera Infante

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

I suppose that writers should, in a way, feel flattered by the censorship laws. They show a primitive fear and dread at the fearful magic of print.
John Mortimer

I think the best thing in cases of censorship or things like this is to get as much media as possible.
Kathy Acker

I think what we have in this country is a little more dangerous in a way because it can't be seen fully. It's sorta internal censorship. We censor each other.
Kathy Acker

I'm opposed to censorship of any kind, especially by government. But it's plain common sense that producers should target their product with some kind of sensitivity.
Lee Child

In any event, the proper question isn't what a journalist thinks is relevant but what his or her audience thinks is relevant. Denying people information they would find useful because you think they shouldn't find it useful is censorship, not journalism.
Michael Kinsley

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

One thing that success has taught me is censorship.
Tracey Emin

Our censorship has sort of gotten a little too far. Too much censorship is just as bad as having none at all. Children need to be exposed to things, because if they don't see it, eventually, it's not like it's not going to happen, but it's just that there needs to be a balance.
Zoe Saldana

People must not think that all bad in man which is unleashed, the moment you impose censorship disappears from man.
Milos Forman

Pontius Pilate was the first great censor and Jesus Christ the first great victim of censorship.
Ben Lindsey

Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they're doing and saying in films right now just shouldn't be allowed. There's no dignity anymore and I think that's very important.
Mae West

Stopping leaks is a new form of censorship.
Julian Assange

Storytelling is the only studio movie where the censorship is perfectly clear, the only studio movie with a big red box covering up a shot. I take pride in that - and, of course, in having avoided the fate of Eyes Wide Shut.
Todd Solondz

The censorship is such on television in the U.S. that films like mine don't stand a chance.
John Pilger

The fact is that censorship always defeats its own purpose, for it creates, in the end, the kind of society that is incapable of exercising real discretion.
Henry Steele Commager
