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.
Morgan SpurlockFilm is such a powerful medium. It can really affect change; you can affect so many different people in different ways.
Morgan SpurlockSorry, thereยดs no magic bullet. You gotta eat healthy and live healthy to be healthy and look healthy. End of story.
Morgan SpurlockFilm is an oversimplification of things. That it really boils things down and makes them too simple.
Morgan SpurlockI think we've unplugged and become very apathetic to a lot of things that are happening. There's so much going on and we're sort of disconnected.
Morgan SpurlockI had no idea that it was gonna take off the way it did. I thought we made a good movie.
Morgan SpurlockI think that I'm pretty much who you see onscreen. Are there times when I ask questions of people and have a sense of what their answer may be? Sure. I think that you can't deny that. But you still want to hear from that person, even though you may anticipate what they may say. I am as natural right now as I am when I talk to somebody in the Middle East. It's just trying to be a real person to them. So long as I can be as honest with myself when I make a movie like that, I can continue to be honest with you.
