Michael Moore

I have been aspiring to write some sort of literature for a long time.

This book, 'Stupid White Men,' has sold now over four million copies worldwide. Probably about half of that may be in the U.S. and Canada, and the rest, overseas.

I think movies are too long.

I drive an American car. It's a Chrysler. That's not an endorsement. It's more like a cry for pity.

I like America to some extent.

For a documentary filmmaker, I do very well.

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.

We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons.

We reward people for making money off money, and moving money around and dividing up mortgages a thousand times over, selling it to China... and it becomes this shell game.

Most Americans are very responsible.

There's politics in all aspects of our daily lives.

Librarians in America do something like a couple of billion dollars worth of book business every year.

The upper 1 percent, the people down on Wall Street, the corporate executives, they're the people that control this economy.

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.

I tell everybody on the first day of making a movie that if anyone's here to further their career, they should leave. I'm gonna make the movie in such a way that we won't have a career when this movie comes out. Because the people who hold the moneybags are not going to want to share any of that money with us to make the next movie!

I was a good little boy and a good student. I've never been arrested.

Nobody has been arrested on Wall Street for the crash of 2008. They're not paying their fair share of the taxes. And now with the Citizens United case of the Supreme Court, they get to buy politicians up out in the open.

Clearly I am a person who suffers from a lack of ego.

I'm not a pundit. I'm not an analyst.

It should be a crime to make a profit off somebody being sick.
