Quote

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.

We like nonfiction, and we live in fictitious times.

I've made a lot of enemies in all the right places, and there aren't enough hours in the day to respond to either the well-financed corporate hacks or the lowly stalkers who seek to libel me or make a buck off the fact that I'm a well-known person.

They are possibly the dumbest people on the planet... We Americans suffer from an enforced ignorance. We don't know about anything that's happening outside our country. Our stupidity is embarrassing.

'Zero Dark Thirty' is a disturbing, fantastically-made movie. It will make you hate torture.

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.

Part of my job is to read the paper, watch C-Span and show things that haven't been shown or were buried.

In America, we don't, in daily discourse, use the words 'capitalism' or 'socialism.' They've been kind of nonexistent words, I would say, amongst the general public.

One thing I learned as a journalist is that there is at least one disgruntled person in every workplace in America - and at least double that number with a conscience. Hard as they try, they simply can't turn their heads away from an injustice when they see one taking place.

I assume everything I'm saying in an email or saying on the telephone is being looked at.
Michael Moore
Image
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.

I like BuzzFeed, and I understand the pressure that online reporters are under. But I think everyone agrees that, despite all the awesome kitten gifs, they're still obligated to be skeptical of government officials and ask the right questions.

You do not have the right to take another human's life, unless it's in strict self-defense.
Michael Moore

I think I'm in the majority of Americans. I believe that I am in the mainstream of middle America.

What I'm asking for is a new economic order. I don't know how to construct that I'm not an economist.

White people scare the crap out of me.

This life is a gift, and to reject that gift or abuse that gift is not human and not worthy of us.

We as Americans believe it’s OK to kill people. We believe it’s OK to invade a country that had nothing to do with 9/11. We think it’s OK to invade a country where we think Osama Bin Laden is and he’s in the other country. So we just go in and we just kill. And we have the death penalty, we sanction it.

As a quiet salute to Beavis and Butthead, I held up my index finger and thumb in an L-the international sign for loser.

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.

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.
