Freedom

Havin fun while freedom fightin must be one of those lunatic Texas traits we get from the water – which is known to have lithium in it – because it goes all the way back to Sam Houston, surely the most lovable, the most human, and the funniest of all the great men this country has ever produced. – Molly Ivins

I do have the freedom to choose what I want to do and Ill continue to do that. – Moira Kelly

Working with David Cronenberg or Darren Aronofsky or even Steven Soderbergh isnt really like a typical Hollywood movie. These are true artists, and have a certain amount of freedom when they work, and theyre more like independent filmmakers making their way through big studios. – Vincent Cassel
