In an interview, Moore also hinted that he remains interested in making films other than documentaries and will closely watch any effort by authorities to use fear in the "manipulation" of people.

"I've spent the last 20 years doing this. Anybody who does anything for 20 years is tired," Moore said, referring to his history as a documentary filmmaker since the 1989 release of his first movie, "Roger & Me."
