Joan Baez:"In the end, if we manage to get out of this without either World War III happening or whatever other scenarios this administration has for us, it'll be because people kept doing things like making statements, signing petitions. It'll be because the Michael Moore's out there didn't quit." (San Diego Union-Tribune, 6/17)

Mario Cuomo after watching Fahrenheit 9/11 3 times:"I was convinced that it should be viewed and reflected upon by as many Americans as possible... especially young people who, in a few years, might be part of our military forces. I'm committed personally to the proposition, as more than just a lawyer, that everybody should see this film." (Chicago Sun-Times, 6/17)

Carson Daly:"I think it's important that there's something that's provocative out there for younger people. I'm 30 so for anybody that doesn't think about what's important to the country, at least there's something provocative that they can go see, make up their own mind." (KXAN-TV, 6/15)

Patti Davis, daughter of Ronald Reagan: "Seeing Fahrenheit 9/11 made me think deeply about love of country, how it molds us, drives and emboldens us and how it can sometimes make us so angry we want to shout out to the world: 'No, this is wrong.' Many things have been said about the movie, and of course about its director, Michael Moore. But I don't think I've heard anyone comment on Moore's love for America. It seemed evident to me that the film was born from that love." (Newsweek, 7/20)

John Fogerty: "With the Michael Moore movie, certain conservative talk show hosts call him un-American. Him and anybody else who says anything about the war... To question your country's policy, especially in a war that kills people, is definitely not un-American. It's probably the most patriotic thing you can do." (Scripps Howard News Service, 7/14)

Tom Hanks:"I want Michael Moore to have my seven bucks for that movie." (USA Today, 6/15)

Seymour Hersh:"The truth is it's so ironic. The best information we may get about this election may come from a combination of The Control Room, Fahrenheit 9/11, John Sayles, the nightly news from Jon Stewart..." (http://michaelmoore.com/www.informationclearinghouse.info, 7/19)

Rob Reiner:"I think this is one of the most important films ever made. It has the potential of actually affecting the election, and if it does, it will change the world. There are very few films or works of art that have a profound effect on world affairs," he said, mentioning "Uncle Tom's Cabin" and "I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang." "But this actually has a chance to change the world." (Hollywood Reporter, 6/10)
