The more we can be honest about ourselves as filmmakers, than the more we can be honest with people who see the films.

I was walking an average of about two and a half miles a day, which is still more than most Americans. Most Americans don't even walk that.

My mom always used to say, "You'll be a better kid if you just listen."

People were always pointing the finger at the fast food industry. And I was a big fan of personal responsibility - you know, no one is forcing you to eat. We're not geese being stuffed with corn.

I think that when you have somebody who really is kind of forced to see the world through someone else's eyes, I think it really is eye opening.

One of my beliefs as a filmmaker is that if you can make somebody laugh, you can make them listen. With laughter, you can get somebody's guard down, you can open them up to listening to you. They don't feel like they're being preached to or talked down to. I think it helps, it makes really hard to understand information a little more accessible and palatable. And at the end of the day, it makes a movie a little more fun. It doesn't feel so heavy handed.

I don't know. I have incredible amounts of hope that things can change. It takes people who believe.
