Yes, that's for sure Chris. I think the context may be have been Cage's return to more 'music' notations in the 1970s and 80s, perhaps with reference to one of the sets of Etudes. I think the comment was suggesting that more fixed notations work better for some people and less fixed for others. Or this all may have been a dream...!

Maybe someone else knows otherwise, but I can't really think of an instance where Cage said anything directly like that. I do know that in his "Defense of Satie" he talks about "law elements" and "freedom elements." This concerns how he wrote his music up
to the late 1940s and prior to his use of chance.
One thing for sure: Cage knew that freedom and rules were both needed, and connected, at least when it came to how he wrote music.
Best wishes, chris

I'm tearing my hair out trying to find where it is that Cage said/wrote something along the lines of 'Some people need rules, others need freedom'. Can anyone help?
Looking forward to hearing from any of you Philip
