[Bill] Clinton was a pretty good president for a Republican. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore

Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I get called 'controversial' all the time. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I'm very blessed and fortunate that people want to go see my movies. ~ Michael Moore

Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
'Zero Dark Thirty' is a disturbing, fantastically-made movie. It will make you hate torture. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
There's been almost a dozen films that have been made against me. There's actually more films made attacking me than films I've made. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I do believe that we are to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute you. I believe that there is power and strength in that. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I had an unusually large-sized head, though this was not uncommon for a baby in the Midwest. The craniums in our part of the country were designed to leave a little extra room for the brain to grow in case one day we found ourselves exposed to something we didn't understand, like a foreign language, or a salad. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Listen friends, you have to face the truth: You are never going to be rich ... The system is rigged in favor of the few, and your name is not among them, not now and not ever. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I realized that this was the big secret of democracy
that change can occur by starting off with just a few people doing something. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I watch way too much C-SPAN. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Oprah's got good politics, she's got a good heart, and she'll have us all up Jazzercising at six in the morning. This cannot be a bad thing, and reading a book while we're Jazzercising. So America would be better off if Oprah were president. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Perhaps vaguely aware that his movie so completely lacks gravitas, Moore concludes with a sonorous reading of some words from George Orwell. The words are taken from 1984 and consist of a third-person analysis of a hypothetical, endless and contrived war between three superpowers. The clear intention, as clumsily excerpted like this (...), is to suggest that there is no moral distinction between the United States, the Taliban and the Ba'ath Party, and that the war against jihad is about nothing. If Moore had studied a bit more, or at all, he could have read Orwell really saying, and in his own voice, the following:
The majority of pacifists either belong to obscure religious sects or are simply humanitarians who object to taking life and prefer not to follow their thoughts beyond that point. But there is a minority of intellectual pacifists, whose real though unacknowledged motive appears to be hatred of western democracy and admiration for totalitarianism. Pacifist propaganda usually boils down to saying that one side is as bad as the other, but if one looks closely at the writing of the younger intellectual pacifists, one finds that they do not by any means express impartial disapproval but are directed almost entirely against Britain and the United States…
And that's just from Orwell's Notes on Nationalism in May 1945. A short word of advice: In general, it's highly unwise to quote Orwell if you are already way out of your depth on the question of moral equivalen ~ Christopher Hitchens
Michael Moore quotes by Christopher Hitchens
I - honestly, I don't know of a worse lie one could tell other than a lie to take a country to war. To make up things to take people to war. That's just got to be the most obscene, immoral thing to do. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
'Up in the Air' is not a political movie. It won't be mistaken for either a Michael Moore or Any Rand polemic on capitalism. ~ Frank Rich
Michael Moore quotes by Frank Rich
Michael Moore announced that his next documentary film will attack the health care industry in America. He's not out to get the pharmaceutical companies. He's just looking for something to relieve the redness in the center of the country. ~ Argus Hamilton
Michael Moore quotes by Argus Hamilton
As you have fewer and fewer voices in a democracy, in a free society, it's not good to limit the number of voices. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
White people scare the crap out of me. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Michael Moore simultaneously represents everything I detest in a human being and everything I feel obligated to defend in an American. Quite simply, it is that stupid moron's right to be that utterly, completely wrong. ~ Dennis Miller
Michael Moore quotes by Dennis Miller
I'm actually a fairly conservative person. I live a very conservative lifestyle. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
The entire business world has figured out how to make huge buckets of money without hiring us to work for them. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Michael Moore, whether you like him or hate him, has done something very important. ~ John Sayles
Michael Moore quotes by John Sayles
Because I have an opinion, I have become public enemy number one to the Fox News Channel and the right wing. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
If I were a capitalist I would not give my employees health insurance with no deductible, which I do, including dental, and paid pregnancy leave. That's not called capitalism, that's called being a Christian and someone who believes in democracy, so that everyone should get a fair slice of the pie. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Diets are a scam. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I and you and everyone else has to be a political activist. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
You know we are flawed people, so if someone is going to make a movie about me, they don't have to make it up. My real flaws are much funnier. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
There should be no private health insurance companies operating for profit. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
If the guy out in the woods with the Michigan Militia is a real estate negotiator, instead of some crackpot, and has a normal life, that's unnerving. You don't want to think it's as normal as the guy next door, hedging his lawn. It's easier to demonize or separate them off from 'us.' ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I don't want people leaving the theater depressed after my movies. I want them angry. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
One thing I've learned about death threats is that they're great, actually. You should actually be grateful for death threats because those who are taking the time to threaten you that way are getting it out of their system. That's really what they rant to do, yell at you, and they want to threaten you. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
The upper 1 percent, the people down on Wall Street, the corporate executives, they're the people that control this economy. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
As far as what I do love, I love birds; I love lavender. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Occupy has to continue as a bold, in-your-face movement - occupying banks, corporate headquarters, board meetings, campuses and Wall Street itself. We need weekly - if not daily - nonviolent assaults right on Wall Street. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Every parent wants to do what's best for their child. Whatever I can afford, I'm going to get my kid the best education I can get. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I don't want to involve myself in the various arguments about why Israel was created ... I want to deal with the situation at hand which is the ongoing killing on both sides ... It's true that there's also much oppression of Palestinians in Arab countries, where Palestinians aren't allowed to vote or own property and are treated as second class citizens and pawns in the fight against Israel. But I'm not going to spend my time on this since there is isn't a whole lot I can do about it. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
And realising that humour is the most powerful way to make a political statement and say the things that you want to say. And it's not used enough, at least not in the U.S. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
People like me who grew up in a working-class town, who don't have a college education, you don't usually hear from us. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
You need to have a relationship with what you put inside you. I don't want to get all spiritual about this, but I believe our bodies are a gift, and to deface it is disrespectful. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Back in the '80s and '90s, when GM was consistently posting giant profits, they were simultaneously firing tens of thousands of workers in my hometown of Flint and across Michigan. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Maybe we should be directing our anger elsewhere - like toward Wall Street. Why is it we never think of Big Business when we think of welfare recipients? Companies take more of our tax dollars, and in much more questionable ways, than do those who are trying to heat their apartments with a kerosene stove. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I remember the first time I received a cassette tape of a band called The Clash. I became an instant fan of the Clash and then bought their albums after that and went to their concerts and gave them my money ... but I first got it for free. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
We like nonfiction, and we live in fictitious times, ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Capitalism is an organized system to guarantee that greed becomes the primary force of our economic system and allows the few at the top to get very wealthy and has the rest of us riding around thinking we can be that way, too - if we just work hard enough, sell enough Tupperware and Amway products, we can get a pink Cadillac. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
In the case of Michael Moore, having a deep, I'd even say passionate, understanding of other types of people in America who might be progressive thinkers without even realizing it. ~ Jello Biafra
Michael Moore quotes by Jello Biafra
I hate to say it, but killing is our way. We began America with genocide, then built it with slaves. The shootings will continue. It's who we are. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Sometimes it's important to vote - you know, to make a statement, to make a point; certainly, many of us who were involved in the Nader campaign in 2000 felt that way. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
If the Founding Fathers could have looked into a crystal ball and seen AK-47s and Glock semi-automatic pistols, I think they would say, you know, 'That's not really what we mean when we say bear arms.' ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
What I'm asking for is a new economic order. I don't know how to construct that; I'm not an economist. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Instead of the Government spending $400,000 on immunisation, we may get far better health outcomes if we spend $100,000 in some other way, on nutrition for example ... When you have an expenditure on getting your community healthier, then the resistance to many childhood diseases is stronger. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
You survive by having your fear compass calibrated correctly. Our compass is off now because we're being told to be afraid of everything. The things that we're frightened of, or told to be frightened of, are not necessarily the things that we need to fear. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
For all his ego and mendacity, Moore is immensely popular. He's got an Oscar, more film awards than we can easily count, and a following whose blindest followers resemble cult members. Like a cult, the Moore movement shares the drive to recruit converts.... ~ David T. Hardy
Michael Moore quotes by David T. Hardy
How do you deliver democracy to a country? You don't do it down the barrel of a gun. That's not how you deliver it. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Jesus told us that we would be judged by how we treat the least among us. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Halliburton is not a 'company' doing business in Iraq. It is a war profiteer, bilking millions from the pockets of average Americans. In past wars, they would have been arrested - or worse. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
The products built in the factories of G.M., Ford and Chrysler are some of the greatest weapons of mass destruction responsible for global warming and the melting of our polar icecaps. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Bill Maher does something amazing in Religulous. He makes Michael Moore look incredibly likable in comparison. ~ Mick LaSalle
Michael Moore quotes by Mick LaSalle
When [Imam] Samudra was tried, according to the Sydney Morning Herald, 'His lawyer, Qaidar Faisal, later delivered an official defence submission.' The defense summation praised the Taliban and its version of Islam and concluded with this telling detail: 'Mr. Faisal also quoted from American satirist Michael Moore's book Stupid White Men and other anti-western texts.' ~ David T. Hardy
Michael Moore quotes by David T. Hardy
Michael Moore: a man who never without an excuse for keeping murdering tyrants in power. But now he's supporting the man who bombed Milosevic into submission? How about an explanation, Mr Moore? ~ Andrew Sullivan
Michael Moore quotes by Andrew Sullivan
I'm not a pundit. I'm not an analyst. I don't want to participate in the existing debate that's going on about whether or not you should be able to have as many guns as you want to have or that guns are even the problem. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
The Justice Department needs to investigate how Goldman Sachs was able to steer things in such a manner through their former employees in the Bush administration, so that in the end Goldman's competitors have disappeared and Goldman is left standing. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
How could a guy sitting in a cave in Afghanistan, have ... plotted so perfectly the hijacking of four planes and then guaranteed that three of them would end up precisely on their targets? ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I certainly believe that I have no right to tell another couple whether they can or cannot be married. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
My dad was an autoworker, my mom was a clerk. Until I was thirty-five, I never made more than fifteen thousand dollars a year. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
It turns out Cuba has this incredible healthcare system for a very poor country. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
If you could read, you knew shit. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Bush's presidency is revisionism-proof. We're going to be recovering from it for the rest of our lives. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I'm caught up probably just as much in the consumer culture as the next person. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Now that I exist in the mainstream majority, I'm not really so controversial any more, am I? Not really news. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
The economic system that the United States has is an evil empire. It's an economic system that's not fair, not just, and it's not democratic. And it will fall just like communism fell. The richest 1 percent now own 50 percent of the wealth. It didn't use to be that way. The average CEO 20 years ago made 20 times as much as the average employee. Now they make 212 times as much. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Politicians never keep all their promises. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
What the media are telling you to be afraid of are the wrong things ... Fear is a necessary ingredient of our survival instincts. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
There's over a billion people on this planet that don't have access to clean drinking water. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
They said VCRs would kill the movies; it didn't. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I've been encouraging documentary filmmakers to use more and more humor, and they're loath to do that because they think if it's a documentary it has to be deadly serious - it has to be like medicine that you're supposed to take. And I think it's what keeps the mass audience from going to documentaries. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
If anything, I don't have to convince the American public that we have a broken health-care system. I think the majority of Americans since they have to go through that health-care system, already know it. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Building up the arms did not cause the fall of Eastern Europe. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Transporting Americans is and should be one of the most important functions our government must address. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
The idea that cinema can be dangerous is a great idea. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Middle class jobs prevent crime and violence. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
If we didn't have Social Security, our seniors would live mostly in poverty. You'd have another 18 million people in poverty. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I'm not a pundit. I'm not an analyst. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Capitalism would have never let me be a filmmaker, living in Flint, Michigan with a high school education. I was going to have to make that happen myself. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
The highest courage is to dare to be yourself in the face of adversity. Choosing right over wrong, ethic over convenience, and truth over popularity ... these are choices that measure your life. Travel the path of integrity without looking back, for there is never a wrong time to do the right thing. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
'Champagne' and 'breathmint' are the first two words all Oscar winners hear. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I think if people who are attacking me or against me, if they would just watch one of my films, they would - they may not agree with me politically on all the things I'm saying. But they will know at the end of the film that I love this country and that I have a heart. And they'll have a good laugh throughout the film. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I want us all to face our fears and stop behaving like our goal in life is to merely survive. "Surviving" is for wimps and game show contestants stranded in the jungle or on a desert island. You are not stranded. You own the store ... You deserve better. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I'm not a big believer in our copyright laws; I find them way too restrictive. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Should such an ignorant people lead the world? How did it come to this in the first place? 82 percent of us don't even have a passport! Just a handful can speak a language other than English. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I assume everything I'm saying in an email or saying on the telephone is being looked at. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Greed has been with human beings forever. We have a number of things in our species that you would call 'the dark side,' and greed is one of them. If you don't put certain structures in place or restrictions on those parts of our being that come from that dark place, then it gets out of control. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
There's only one movie theater in the entire city of Detroit. The entire city has one open movie theater, and it is in the - it is in the General Motors headquarters complex. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
The NRA hates freedom. They don't want you to have the freedom to send your children to school & expect them to come home alive. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
The American media wants to pump you full of fear. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
To put it in Quaker terms, my inner light flickered a lot, like the overhead fluorescent at a Motel 6, and sometimes, it burnt out altogether. The closest I came to consistent faith was during my senior year religion class, when we learned about the Central and South American liberation theology movements and I became briefly convinced that God was a left-wing superhero who led the global struggle against imperialism and corporate greed. Sort of a celestial Michael Moore. ~ Kevin Roose
Michael Moore quotes by Kevin Roose
There is no terrorist threat. Yes, there have been horrific acts of terrorism and, yes, there will be acts of terrorism again. But that doesn't mean that there's some kind of massive terrorist threat. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
I don't know whether I see it as slipping inside the villains, but part of what makes Ralph Nader and Michael Moore such effective speakers and communicators is that they know how corporate culture works, how our lawmaking bodies really work, and where the bones are buried. ~ Jello Biafra
Michael Moore quotes by Jello Biafra
There's nothing pure about capitalism. ~ Michael Moore
Michael Moore quotes by Michael Moore
Television has its own award. It's called the Emmy. It's a good award. I like it. I have one. But you don't see movies like 'The King's Speech' win Oscars and then go to TV and qualify for Emmys. In documentaries, some networks have been able to game the system. ~ Michael Moore
