“[Since finishing his acclaimed debut documentary] Dark Days, ... about a group of guys who are the best at what they do and are the first in the door when something goes wrong.”
Marc Singer
“This is a group that is going to preempt their airtime to run a 90-minute documentary attacking Senator Kerry. This is a use of corporate funds. Under the law, you cannot use corporate funds to go out there and advocate for a party or a political candidate.”

“It's a documentary that captures the rise and occasional stumblings of this band. It's really crazy, we had forgotten about a lot of the stuff that happens in the film. Like backstage stuff and concert footage. Basically, it tells the story of one really crazy year in this band's life.”
Gerard Way
“[With all the hoopla surrounding objectivity in Moore's documentary, the filmmaker actually makes no claim to such a genre.] I don't know if you should call it a documentary, ... I think it's a nonfiction film. It's certainly not made up. Everything you see is real. It actually happened and I filmed it as it happened. But that word, I don't like that word. It has just some bad connotation to it. I set out to make a movie whenever I start one of these. I'm not thinking, 'Oh, I want to make a documentary.' I don't even know really what that means. I like to go to the movies. I go to three or four movies a week. I love going to the movies and I want to make a movie that I would go see. And that's what I set out to do.”
Michael Moore
“No, and I won't be. I walked out of Kurt And Courtney [the Nick Broomfield documentary]; it made me feel dirty. The new film just seems to be skirting round things; it hasn't been brave enough.”
Kurt Cobain
“If you made a movie about (evolutionary biologist Charles) Darwin now, it would be revolutionary. If we did a documentary on Darwin, I'd get a thousand hate e-mails.”
