Upon winning his Academy Award for Bowling for Columbine (2002): "On behalf of our producers, Kathleen Glynn and Michael Donovan from Canada, I`d like to thank the Academy for this. I have invited my fellow documentary nominees on the stage with us, and we would like to say that they`re here in solidarity with me because we like non-fiction. We like non-fiction and we live in fictitious times. We live in the time where we have fictitious election results that elect a fictitious president. We live in a time where we have a man sending us to war for fictitious reasons. Whether it`s the fiction of duct tape or fiction of orange alerts, we are against this war, Mr. Bush. Shame on you, Mr. Bush, shame on you. (Interrupted by mingled boos and cheering) And any time you got the Pope and the Dixie Chicks against you, your time is up. Thank you very much."
- Michael MooreIt`s incomprehensible. Kathleen and my father had the most loving relationship. They never fought.
