While the press tried to pit Moore and his Fahrenheit 11 de Setembro (2004) against Mel Gibson and his A Paixão de Cristo (2004) against each other as the representation of "blue" and "red" states in the election year of 2004, the two men get along well personally and find their opposition to be an invention of the press. Actually Moore, a practicing Catholic, loved "Passion" and saw it many times and Gibson, who opposed the invasion of Iraq despite his conservative reputation, greatly enjoyed "Fahrenheit."

One of the few major pundits to predict that Donald Trump would be elected president in 2016. In July 2016 he posted a column on his website claiming that Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin would be won by Trump, securing him the presidency. Despite Trump having poor polling in several of the states he won all four.

Due to his portly demeanor, Moore has always been uncomfortable seeing himself on film, thus, a prominent poster in his production office reads: "When in doubt - cut me out!".

On the day after his infamous "Oscar Backlash", where he attacked both George W. Bush and the Iraq war, attendance for his movie Tiros em Columbine (2002) went up 110%. The following weekend, the box office for the film was up 73%.

Is a card-carrying member of the National Rifle Association. Moore told Tim Russert that he joined so as to be elected its president and then dismantle the organization.

I like America to some extent. Take the Japanese for instance. They are complicated and tend to be reserved in expressing themselves. Sometimes, it is difficult for me to understand them. Americans are simple and clear. They are charming people. You will understand how good an individual American is. What I am not satisfied with America is that the nation cannot control the government and economy. Only a handful of people have the power to control the country.

I don't compromise my values and I don't compromise my work. That's why I've been kicked from one network to the next: I won't give in.

Americans, when they see Fahrenheit 11 de Setembro (2004), will see things they have never seen before.

When asked by David Letterman why Disney didn't want to release his film Fahrenheit 11 de Setembro (2004): They watched it.

In response to bootleg copies of the movie popping up: "Is it wrong for someone who's bought a film on DVD to let a friend watch it for free? Of course it's not. It never has been and never will be. I think information, art and ideas should be shared. I don't agree with the copyright laws, and I don't have a problem with people downloading the movie and sharing it with people as long as they're not trying to make a profit off my labour. I would oppose that. I do well enough already, and I made this film because I want the world to change. The more people who see it, the better, so I'm happy this is happening."
