Josh Fox Quotes

Culture is the air we breathe all around us Picture Quote #1

Natural gas is a dirty fossil fuel like the rest of them Picture Quote #1

The Safe Drinking Water Act, the safety provisions of the Clean Water Acts, the Clean Air Act, the Superfund Law - the gas industry is exempt from all these basic environmental and worker protections. They don’t have to disclose the chemicals they use. They don’t have to play by the same rules as anybody else Picture Quote #1

Watching a film should feel like you just tore a hole out of the air and the void caught fire Picture Quote #1

We have to start processing what we’re really made of in America. American character is not dead. American integrity and honesty are not dead. When we’re backed up against the wall against the largest corporations in the history of corporations, it’s there Picture Quote #1

With moviemaking, the audience always has to keep asking, ‘What happens next?’ If you have the wrong piece of music over a scene, people aren’t going to get the scene. If you have the wrong camera angle, people aren’t going to pay attention. That’s as much a part of the process as getting people to talk to you Picture Quote #1

$We need policy change, and the most important thing people can do is to contribute and participate in the political process. We have to vote climate change deniers and people who will create subsidies for the fossil fuel industry out of office. We have to protest when bad decisions are being made about fracking or tar sands Picture Quote #1$

I’m a night owl, and luckily my profession supports that. The best ideas come to me in the dead of night Picture Quote #1

Water is a cure-all. Water is everything. You can’t get better without drinking lots of water, and you can’t drink water unless it’s clean Picture Quote #1

When you have corporate influence on our government outweighing the influence of citizens, that’s terrifying. This is something we have to make a big, big noise about Picture Quote #1

I think what we all have to do is make this big leap towards renewables. And it has to be a solution where you’re actually building the answer; and it has to be built faster than the natural gas industry can build their answer Picture Quote #1

It’s the next phase of authorship of this country’s energy future. It’s gonna come from the people. It’s not gonna be deus ex machina or Obama ex machina, or science ex machina. It’s gonna be the people. It’s not going to be a wind energy company that comes in and saves the day. It’s going to be the people who figure this out Picture Quote #1

I think we’re in an era of unprecedented dominance by corporations. I think people understand that deeply; I don’t think that’s even questioned Picture Quote #1

I love driving. I still drive a 1993 Toyota Camry. I do want to get an electric car, but it’s less of a carbon footprint if you keep your old, fuel-efficient car on the road than if you say ‘build me a whole new car.’ Picture Quote #1

$What we’ve got is the wholesale embrace of fracking domestically, internationally and for export. And this couldn’t be further from what we really need to do to address climate change Picture Quote #1$

The BP spill was the greatest environmental catastrophe in U.S. history. Yet somehow, gas companies like BP and Halliburton ran interference on reporting that story Picture Quote #1

I’m a theater guy and a filmmaker. So when my community was thrown up in the air by the gas industry, the way I could contribute was to do something in the film world. I never thought it would be a big deal at all Picture Quote #1

I’ve been arrested three times. I don’t like getting arrested, but it’s not so bad when it’s an organized form of nonviolent disobedience. It’s something appealing to a higher law Picture Quote #1

I really hate to be Debbie Downer right now, because everyone would love to say, Yeah, we’re finally doing something on climate! Picture Quote #1

I love cooking. My Italian mother is a genius cook, and I picked that up from her. I make my own sauce, which takes four hours, from a recipe that’s been refined over many years. I won’t tell anybody what it is Picture Quote #1

Sometimes I feel like there isn’t enough Prozac in the world to make Environmental Protection Agency people feel better about their jobs. They’re going out there, they’re trying to protect Americans and then time and time and time again they get their knees cut off at the policy level Picture Quote #1

When you’re cornered, there are two things you can do: move or fight Picture Quote #1

Natural gas is a bridge fuel. But it’s not a bridge - it’s a gangplank. It’s either a bridge in space or a bridge in time. The bridge in time we don’t need. We have renewable technology right now Picture Quote #1

We should be moving vigorously towards renewable energy. The technology of which is right here right now Picture Quote #1

When the natural gas industry was knocking on my door, they were knocking on the door of millions of people. And that became something that Americans really needed to focus on Picture Quote #1

We’re not living in a society that science actually dominates the conversation. We’re living in a situation where some science is allowed and a lot of it’s about policy Picture Quote #1

When your science runs into a policy roadblock, all of a sudden the science starts to disappear Picture Quote #1

When you live in a watershed area, in a pristine area, and you could watch this whole place fall apart in front of your eyes, you don’t sell your soul for a buck Picture Quote #1

Every single dollar spent lobbying a legislator on behalf of oil and gas is a toxic dollar that undermines public health and safety laws that protect Americans. That’s contamination of the political system Picture Quote #1

I don’t believe we’re only motivated by our own self-interests. Often out of crisis comes this enormous wellspring of generosity and motivation Picture Quote #1
