I've always felt so grateful that I dropped out of school, that I never had to do a thesis. I wouldn't know how to organise and structure myself to film so that B follows A and C follows B.

I want Americans to realize that we are the owners of this country, and that one person can make a difference.

When I make a film, I'm not doing it purely for political reasons. If I just wanted to do that, I'd run for office.

And realising that humour is the most powerful way to make a political statement and say the things that you want to say. And it's not used enough, at least not in the U.S.

White people scare the crap out of me.

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.

The American media wants to pump you full of fear.
