Janice Koh: Im not sure why this photo from the recent Rant & Rave production has been used to accompany the article below on MDAs new licensing guidelines. But since Im playing Kuo Pao Kun in this picture, heres a quote from him, part of which also appears in the play: The hardest thing to fight is our own mentality. I think if you see it as entirely a government problem, you are giving up your independence. Some people say, Cant write lah, you know, censorship too strict. I say, Come on, man, if you are worth two cents you write because you want to write, not because people allow you to write. Artists never create by other peoples rules. Instead, they should always be the ones to push the boundaries of censorship. If the artists dont, then who will? As they say, freedom is never given, freedom can only be gotten. ~ Kuo Pao Kun
