“Documentary is a storytelling form. It's not a lecture.”

“I think the role of a filmmaker is to make people think.”

“There's a hunger for stories that are not being told by the mainstream media.”

“The story of Wal-Mart is the story of the place we are living in now.”

“What's exciting is the new media, the new distribution, the new ways of talking to people.”

“The Koch brothers have been very effective in influencing the American political landscape, and they've done it in a very subtle way.”

“We can use the new media to organize and to speak out, and to tell our own stories.”

“We want to make media that is not just a lecture, but something that is cool and energetic and spurs people to action.”

“The most important thing is to have a point of view. It's to have a passion.”
