"Ever
since he began making his personal documentaries, Michael Moore
has been a thorn in the flesh of uncaring business corporations,
rabid right-wingers, and unscrupulous politicians. Moore has
single-handedly taken documentaries out of the ghetto and placed
them firmly in the mainstream." -

"Author,
filmmaker, and political activist Michael Moore has developed a
trademark style of tackling major issues with a sharp sense of
humor while maintaining a regular-guy attitude, an approach that
has helped him secure a reputation as both a razor-sharp
humorist and one of America's most fearless political
commentators." -

"A
gadfly to some; a godsend to others, documentary filmmaker
Michael Moore succeeded in ticking off the right and galvanizing
the left with his controversial, yet highly entertaining
documentaries. Whether he was skewering a president taking a
nation to war under false pretenses, challenging the violent
nature of American culture or exposing a woefully dismal health
care system in the wealthiest country on Earth, Moore managed to
spark both enlightened conversation and frothing vitriol with
his movies." -

"When
I'm shooting a movie, I'm always in an invisible theater seat. I
respect the fact that people have worked hard all week and want
to go to the movies on the weekend and be entertained. But the
struggle for me does not come between politics and
entertainment, because I know that if I succeed in making an
entertaining and funny or sad film, the things I want to say
politically will come through very strong. If there ever is a
struggle, making a good movie will always supersede the need to
be noble." -
