Under Reagan came the idea of putting your pension plan in the stock market, which wasn't a guaranteed pension.
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
You share things with people and I think information, and art, and ideas should be shared.
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
I have a rule: I want the pilot flying me up in the air at 30,000 feet to make more than a guy working at Taco Bell.
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
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
I did a filmstrip on pollution in the Davison area as my Eagle Scout project and showed it around town. Businesses who were the polluters were mad at me.
Michael Moore
My uncle killed by sniper in WW2. We were taught snipers were cowards. Will shoot u in the back. Snipers aren't heroes. And invaders r worse.
Michael Moore
Here's what I don't think works: An economic system that was founded in the 16th century and another that was founded in the 19th century. I'm tired of this discussion of capitalism and socialism we live in the 21st century, we need an economic system that has democracy as its underpinnings and an ethical code.
Michael Moore
I don't want people leaving the theater depressed after my movies. I want them angry.
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
The worst way to defend our freedom is to let our leaders start taking away our freedoms! It is exactly during times like these [a national crisis] that we need more freedom of speech, a strong and critical press, and a citizenry that is not afraid to stand up and say that the emperor has no clothes.
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
If you're in a diabetic or prediabetic state, it's good to have medication to go on for a period of time. But simply by making the changes - get your sleep, 35 grams of fiber and a half-hour walk - your cholesterol will come down, your sugar will come down, and your blood pressure will come down. Only the minority of people can't control it.
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
Documentaries are a form of journalism.
Michael Moore
I believe that when you provide information to people, they become less fearful and they will engage more in their democracy if they are empowered with information.
Michael Moore
You know he's [George W. Bush] there illegally. You know he was not elected either by the popular vote or by the vote in Florida.
Michael Moore
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
