More quotes by Morgan Spurlock
I believe in storytelling, not story-selling. I want people to believe the characters are real. So I'm a realist.
Morgan Spurlock
I enjoy telling these stories that I ultimately think get a disservice on a lot of network television. I enjoy getting people to change their perspective. I enjoy pushing myself into learning and understanding things from a very different point of view. It's scary to do that. It's scary to kind of put yourself in somebody else's position.

I think that, I'm sure there are gonna be some teachers who are very entrenched in the system, who are going to buy in to what they're being told, as to what the kids are being fed
Morgan Spurlock
I don't think Muslims do hate America. I think that's what we hear and that's what we believe. I don't think that's true.

My mom always used to say, You'll be a better kid if you just listen.
Morgan Spurlock
I'm not somebody who comes in with a whole outline, and says, Here's the movie we're going to make. That's not what a documentary is for me. I think a documentary is about capturing events as they unfold in real time.
Morgan Spurlock

I think that's one of the biggest goals I had in making a movie, was listening to what other people had to say.
Morgan Spurlock
I'm making entertainment, but I'm making art. This is my art. Hopefully, it's profitable, hopefully it makes money, but at the end of the day I want it to be remembered for its artistic value as well as its entertainment value.
Morgan Spurlock
Part of living is understanding where the fringes are. Once you know how far people go, you can say, Well, here's how I choose to represent myself.
Morgan Spurlock
I had no idea that it was gonna take off the way it did. I thought we made a good movie.
Morgan Spurlock
When I experience something or feel something, that's kind of transferred to the audience. There's a lot of great breakthrough moments that come out of that.
Morgan Spurlock
It's hard to hear that your good intentions are making things worse and tragic.
Morgan Spurlock
In fact we put so many things in our mouths we constantly have to be reminded what not to eat. Look at that little package of silicon gel that's inside your sneakers. It says DO NOT EAT for a reason. Somewhere sometime some genius bought a pair of sneakers and said Ooooh look. They give you free mints with the shoes
Morgan Spurlock
I don't go into a movie with preconceived notions of where I want things to go.
Morgan Spurlock
You come downstairs, turn off the TV, and then and your son says, 'Daddy, I want to get that wrestling set, and all the pieces are sold separately.' The minute he quotes a commercial verbatim, that's when he's had enough TV.
Morgan Spurlock
I think that there are certain guns that, of course, I don't know who needs a machine gun, personally. But I think rifles and things like that are fine. I think that in the wrong hand is when a gun becomes a problem.
Morgan Spurlock
I think most Muslims are incredibly upset with the state of America's foreign policy today and the state of the world.
