"We were living our own 'Grapes of Wrath' in places like Flint and Detroit and in the Rust Belt and people for now years have suffered as a result of greedy decisions made by corporations who think that they run the country. ... I feel very strongly about these things and I try to, on film, do them with as much good humor as possible to convince people that there might be a better way." -- Michael Moore

"My father would have loved Michael Moore just because they have the great, similar sense of humor. So the award is given to those people who have the courage to say things that are the truth ... regardless of who disdains that knowledge." -- Tom Steinbeck
