Having gone through what I went through, watching my family be torn to shreds and my children suffer immensely, I can’t be the agent of doing that to someone else. I can’t be the agent of causing someone to go to prison Picture Quote #1

I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty. I could have just as easily picked up a knife or a gun, like many of my childhood friends did... most of whom were murdered or put in prison... but I chose not to go that way. I felt that I could somehow subdue these evils by doing something beautiful that people recognize me by, and thus make a whole different life for myself, which has proved to be so Picture Quote #1

I believe, and I may be wrong, the system sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t. Prison is supposed to rehabilitate, but they don’t do that in a lot of cases Picture Quote #1

You have put so much energy into building a prison for yourself. Now spend as much on demolishing it Picture Quote #1

I always tell people, anger is like liquid. It’s fluid, it’s like water. You put it in a container and it takes the shape of that container. So many people you see in prison, unleashing war on their people, they are angry, and they take their anger and put it into a violent container Picture Quote #1

Let’s say that you commit a crime, you get caught, you might get sent to prison. It’s going to be bad. But if you get caught spying, you’re literally hanged the next morning Picture Quote #1

It was a dangerous profession I had chosen... because no one likes a funny kid. In fact, adults are scared silly of them and tend to warn children who act out that they are going to wind up in prison or worse.

I have committed myself to joy. I have come to realize that those who make space for joy, those who prefer nothing to joy, those who desire the utter reality, will most assuredly have it. We must not be afraid to announce it to refugees, slum dwellers, saddened prisoners, angry prophets. Now and then we must even announce it to ourselves. In this prison of now, in this cynical and sophisticated age, someone must believe in joy Picture Quote #1

If I pop everyone who calls me a diva then I’m going to spend the rest of my life in prison Picture Quote #1

An order given in battle, an instruction issued by the master of a sailing ship, a cry for help, are as powerful in modifying the course of events as any other bodily act...You utter a vow or forge a signature and you may find yourself bound for life to a monastery, a woman or prison Picture Quote #1

You will never be completely free from risk, if you’re free. The only time you can be free from risk is when you’re in prison Picture Quote #1

Truth is a pursuit, it’s a quest. And proof is certainly in the pudding in this particular instance, because the film, and the evidence accumulated in making the film, led to this man’s release from prison. And that’s hardly ever happened, if it’s happened at all, in any other film that I can think of Picture Quote #1

Life is the jailer of the soul in this filthy prison, and its only deliverer is death Picture Quote #1
