I think there's some connection between absolute discipline and absolute freedom.

In 1960, when I came out of prison as an ex-convict, I had more freedom under parolee supervision than there's available... in America right now.

It is very easy to make clear what you want a film to say, but I did not wish to engage in overt propaganda, even for the right cause. I wanted to create an experience through the films, something where people could have the freedom of their own response to them.

Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.

It is clear that not in one thing alone, but in many ways equality and freedom of speech are a good thing.
