"Jesus told us that we would be judged by how we treat the least among us."
Michael Francis Moore is an American film director, producer, screenwriter, and author. Moore's work frequently addresses various social, political, and economic topics. He first became publicly known for his award-winning debut documentary Roger & Me, a scathing look at the downfall of the automotive industry in 1980s Flint and Detroit.
"Well I failed to bring Roger to Flint. As we neared the end of the twentieth century, the rich were richer, the poor, poorer. And people everywhere now had a lot less lint, thanks to the lint rollers made in my hometown. It was truly the dawn of a new era."
"I forgot out there on the stage to thank my cast. So if I could do that now, I want to thank Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney, Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Rumsfeld. I thought the love scene between Cheney and Rumsfeld brought a tear to my eye."
"Many families have been devastated tonight. This is just not right. They did not deserve to die. … If someone did this to get back at Bush, then they did so by killing thousands of people who DID NOT VOTE for him. Boston, New York, D.C., and the planes destination of California — these were the places that voted AGAINST Bush."
"Im a millionaire, Im a multi-millionaire, Im filthy rich. You know why Im a multi-millionaire? Cause multi-millions like what I do. Thats pretty good, isnt it? Theres millions that believe in what I do. Pretty cool, huh?"
"Whoa. On behalf of our producers Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan from Canada, Id like to thank the Academy for this. I have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and we would like to — theyre here in solidarity with me because we like nonfiction. We like nonfiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elects a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether its the fictition of duct tape or fictition of orange alerts we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up. Thank you very much."
"You know hes there illegally. You know he was not elected either by the popular vote or by the vote in Florida."
