Morgan Spurlock upsetamericathinking It's hard to hear that your good intentions are making things worse and tragic.

Morgan Spurlock apatheticdisconnectedthinking By what you decide to put on your body, for example, you're already making a personal judgement. That's an incredible thing that happens...we set our own standards even before we walk out the door. Most of the time, those standards are self insulting.

Morgan Spurlock lilieshumanityyears One of my beliefs as a filmmaker is that if you can make somebody laugh, you can make them listen. With laughter, you can get somebody's guard down, you can open them up to listening to you. They don't feel like they're being preached to or talked down to. I think it helps, it makes really hard to understand information a little more accessible and palatable. And at the end of the day, it makes a movie a little more fun. It doesn't feel so heavy handed. Morgan Spurlock laughterfunthinking My mom always used to say, "You'll be a better kid if you just listen."
