More quotes by Oliver Stone
Football is mesmerizing, because it's a figurative war. You go in one direction till you get there, but you get there as a team, not as an individual. Players bond whether they're black or white, much as soldiers do.
Oliver Stone
Hell is the impossibility of reason.
Oliver Stone
[When making movies I] set out to be authentic to [myself] and to put it down the way [I] feel it and know it and interpret it. And then others sometimes key into it and get it.
Oliver Stone
Anyone can relate to suffering in this world.
Oliver Stone
I see films in theaters, and I enjoy films. I enjoy the art of storytelling, and the different ways to tell them.
Oliver Stone
Сyber-warfare is obviously the future. It's a real concern, but we lie so much about what we do that it's hard to know what's going on unless you really follow it.
Oliver Stone
By creating false environment of a war on drugs, and cruel and unusual punishment with these crimes, 50% of our U.S. population is in jail without having hurt anybody, mostly for drugs.
Oliver Stone

I am not trying to be a historian and a dramatist I'm a dramatist, a dramatic historian, or one who does a dramatic interpretation of history.
Oliver Stone
Franklin Roosevelt saw the world as a possible alliance, with the UN involved, of course, where we would never have these kinds of wars again. And he was equally opposed to the British Empire as he was against the Communist Russians.
Oliver Stone
Now, we live in an age where we have so much information that we do tend to overload. The Greeks did too, though.
Oliver Stone
Every time you go into a movie, you go into the point of view of who it is about.
Oliver Stone
America is the strongest empire ever, with the largest military. We spend ten times what the Russians do. And they have equal nuclear ability as we do, because they're precise.
Oliver Stone
Bernie Sanders is a disappointment on foreign policy, totally doesn't think about it. But he has the possibility to be more isolationist, which would be good for us actually. We manage to kill several million people on this planet without taking any credit for it or blame. It's a heavy karma we have.
Oliver Stone
Kennedy was significantly different than Eisenhower before him, and different from Johnson after him. So those three years were the beginning of a détente with the Soviet Union, a new feeling for peace, a seeking out of a new ally with the Soviet Union - the end of the Cold War, as Kennedy called it in his American University speech.
Oliver Stone
I'm a dramatist. Dramatists have a right to look at history and interpret it the way they see it.
Oliver Stone
I might as well be myself. Everyone else is taken.
Oliver Stone
Everyone in the world is impacted by the United States' Big Brother attitude toward the world. We need countries to say no to the United States. The United States is the dominant power in the universe, with its eavesdropping abilities, cyber abilities. And the world is in danger with our tyranny.
Oliver Stone
I do have a side as a citizen, and I've always expressed it, and that's where I've gotten into misunderstandings, because some people see me as a leftist nut or whatever. A conspiracy nut. All that stuff. These are definitions that don't really apply to a dramatist, because a dramatist is working from empathy.
