As actors, we went where we wanted to, and the camera followed us: it was like having another person in the room. There was no formal structure to the process. It was very liberating.
Emily Watson

Cage's Music of Changes was a further indication that the arts in general were beginning to consciously deal with the "given" material and, to varying degrees, liberating them from the inherited, functional concepts of control.
Earle Brown

Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus.
Sol LeWitt

Every decision is liberating, even if it leads to disaster. Otherwise, why do so many people walk upright and with open eyes into their misfortune?
Elias Canetti

Fortunately, historians are now beginning to recognise the historic role of Islam as a liberating force for peoples oppressed by the burdens of unjust social systems.
Aly Khan

Four years was enough of Harvard. I still had a lot to learn, but had been given the liberating notion that now I could teach myself.
John Updike

I am very proud of this work because it is more about the meaning of the Easter Rising and its relationship to what this whole century has been about, people liberating themselves, freeing themselves.
Leon Uris

Jane Horrocks

Leonard Orr

I remember hearing someone say that good acting is more about taking off a mask than putting one on, and in movie acting, certainly that's true. With the camera so close, you can see right down into your soul, hopefully. So being able to do that in a way is terrifying, and in another way, truly liberating. And I like that about it.
Annette Bening

I think every character actor at some stage likes to carry a film. It can be extremely liberating to just come in for a scene or two and do your thing. But I find it frustrating if I'm just doing little bits here and there for too long.
Brendan Gleeson

I think every woman should have a one-night stand. If it's done right, it can be liberating.
Rachel Perry

I think the most liberating thing I did early on was to free myself from any concern with my looks as they pertained to my work.
Meryl Streep

I used to think feminism was a liberating force - now I see many of those people are just censors under a different name.
Lydia Lunch

If I were a writer, how I would enjoy being told the novel is dead. How liberating to work in the margins, outside a central perception. You are the ghoul of literature. Lovely.
Don DeLillo

In liberating Iraq, we have rid the nation and the rest of the world from the danger of Saddam Hussein.
Elizabeth Dole

It can be liberating to get fired because you realize the world doesn't end. There's other ways to make money, better jobs.
Ron Livingston

It is not the simple statement of facts that ushers in freedom; it is the constant repetition of them that has this liberating effect. Tolerance is the result not of enlightenment, but of boredom.
Quentin Crisp

It was a beautiful experience for her, the experience that she had that she confesses. It wasn't dirty and it wasn't horrible and wasn't shattering. It was a wonderful, liberating experience.
Andrew McCarthy
