More quotes by Michael Moore
I was taught from a very early age that it was probably the most American thing you can do is to question what's going on and to try to fix things that you see that aren't right. I believed that as a young person, and I believe that today.
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
In spite of Bush's win, the majority of Americans still think the country is headed in the wrong direction (56%), think the war wasn't worth fighting (51%), and don't approve of the job George W. Bush is doing (52%).
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
Many criminals believe what they say is true they could pass a lie detector test.
Michael Moore
I think that there's something in the American psyche, it's almost this kind of right or privilege, this sense of entitlement, to resolve our conflicts with violence. There's an arrogance to that concept if you think about it. To actually have to sit down and talk, to listen, to compromise, that's hard work.
Michael Moore
Back in the late '90s, I put together a humorous newsmagazine program called 'The Awful Truth' for Bravo. We helped one guy get an organ transplant whose insurance company had refused to pay. I thought, if we could save a guy's life in a 10-minute segment on cable, what could we do if we devoted a whole movie to a whole bunch of people?
Michael Moore
I'm not a big believer in our copyright laws I find them way too restrictive.
Michael Moore
Wall Street, the banks, and corporate America, has been able to call the shots here. They control our members of Congress and they get what they want.
Michael Moore
A government run by billionaires for billionaires is an affront to freedom and morality and humanity.
Michael Moore
The real problem with the IRS is that they let General Electric not pay any taxes -- and 50 other corporations -- that's the real scandal.
Michael Moore
I never know why these people talk to me. I would not talk to me.
Michael Moore
My mum taught me how to read before I went to kindergarden, I always thought that being able to read provided lightness, help to dispel darkness, ignorance and stupidity.
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
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 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
We are the richest country in the world. We spend more on health care than any other country. Yet we have the worst health care in the Western world. Come on. We can do better than this.
Michael Moore
Because I have an opinion, I have become public enemy number one to the Fox News Channel and the right wing.
Michael Moore
I don't support the troops, America, and neither do you.
Michael Moore
A majority of this country opposes this war, a majority of this country never voted for this administration.
