I'd feel bad if I had you come into a theater and you leave feeling ripped off.

I and you and everyone else has to be a political activist.

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.

I think if people who are attacking me or against me, if they would just watch one of my films, they would - they may not agree with me politically on all the things I'm saying. But they will know at the end of the film that I love this country and that I have a heart. And they'll have a good laugh throughout the film.

If we didn't have Social Security, our seniors would live mostly in poverty. You'd have another 18 million people in poverty.

I believe that when you provide information to people, they become less fearful and they will engage more in their democracy if they are empowered with information.

I mean if politics was my main motivation I would be doing politics. But I'm a filmmaker.
