A Quote by Malcolm McDowell

An actor cannot be a censor. I'm there to interpret. — © Malcolm McDowell
An actor cannot be a censor. I'm there to interpret.
Our civilisation cannot afford to let the censor-moron loose. The censor-moron does not really hate anything but the living and growing human consciousness.
An actor and a [theatre] director are both what I would call interpreters of work. We interpret a work, just as a musician will interpret a composer's work, we interpret the work of a playwright. We are servants of the theatre and I've always believed that. We must serve what has been written, that's what we're there for.
I cannot interpret the constitution. Only the constitutional courts can interpret the constitution.
China may censor YouTube. China may censor Twitter. They won't be able to censor Bitcoin. There's no central authority. There's no one you can go to and say, 'We're going to turn Bitcoin off.'
The function of the censor is to censor. He has a professional interest in finding things to suppress.
A lot of times, we censor ourselves before the censor even gets there.
A censor is an expert in cutting remarks. A censor is a man who knows more than he thinks you ought to.
To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty; to interpret it his problem; and to express it his dedication. Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have. Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done.
People can't write whatever they want and get away with it. There is a censor for films and TV, there should be a censor for social media as well.
I'm an actor and my job is to interpret.
Censor the body and you censor breath and speech at the same time. Write yourself. Your body must be heard.
A sober, devout man will interpret 'God's will' soberly and devoutly. A fanatic, with bloodshot mind, will interpret 'God's will' fanatically. Men of extreme, illogical views will interpret 'God's will' in eccentric fashion. Kindly, charitable, generous men will interpret 'God's will' according to their character.
I find it very offensive when the government tells me what I can and cannot watch. Censor yourself.
It is not difficult to censor foreign news. What is difficult today is to censor one's own thoughts, To sit by and see the blind man On the sightless horse, riding into the bottomless abyss.
Music is art to me, and you don't censor art. You don't go into a museum and censor things.
If you censor yourself, if you cannot articulate your needs, if you cannot articulate your priorities, then whatever you do, putting a little cross in a ballot box, etc, does not represent your view. It is an act of desperation.
