If he were a feature filmmaker, he'd be Steven Spielberg and James Cameron rolled into one
Sometime Michael Moore asks too much of us
I've got a couple scripts working
Sometimes it seems like Michael eclipses his own movies. He's a personality that's made him a star. You can question how effective his movies are, but you can't question what a box-office force he is. Love him or hate him, people show up.
I've never put my spiritual beliefs out there like I have in this film ... But I thought, damn it, they've created such a lie about me, and good people won't go to my films. They think I'm something I'm not.
There aren't many filmmakers people feel more strongly about ... I don't think anyone wants to see him stop making documentaries, however you feel about him.
Michael's brilliance is in his filmmaking, particularly his sense of humor ... He can't get away from that. His success comes from the primal idea that if you're going to tell people inconvenient truths, you better make them laugh or they'll kill you.
He wants us to address health care, or the deficit, and frankly, people already feel overwhelmed and would rather be entertained ... He comes in and says, quite compellingly, that this house is pretty dirty. But a lot of people are saying they'll clean it tomorrow —American Idol is on tonight.
Some people will not even come to see this movie because they've been indoctrinated
I want him to know we're watching ... We're expecting him to side with us, not Goldman Sachs.
