I'm a highly flawed individual, as we all are, and because I was raised by Jesuits, I'm constantly, 'What is it about me and what I can do to be better?'

I'm used to my films having little effect on making the world a better place.

I come from the state of Michigan. We were the first English-speaking government in the world to outlaw the death penalty, back in the 1840s. We have never had, as a state, the death penalty in Michigan. I was raised with that, and even Republicans in Michigan, nobody would even think of putting a measure on the ballot to have the death penalty.

Post-war filmmakers gave us the documentary, Rob Reiner gave us the mockumentary and Moore initiated a third genre, the crockumentary.

A government run by billionaires for billionaires is an affront to freedom and morality and humanity.

There's been almost a dozen films that have been made against me. There's actually more films made attacking me than films I've made.

I'm not a proselytizer. I was raised Catholic. I am a Catholic.
