More quotes by Oliver Stone
People are still living in the moment, and they feel the passion of now.
Oliver Stone
A lot of the good cameraman who we used are doing television work they're doing commercials for a lot of money. And the commercials look incredible. But what's it about? I made three major commercial campaigns. I enjoyed it, I experimented with it, and at the end of the day I felt no satisfaction. It was like having a fast food lunch.

I can't tell you how many times at the breakfast table my dad would curse out Franklin Roosevelt. I love my father.

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.
Oliver Stone

Oliver Stone
Horses are very difficult to shoot.
Oliver Stone
My home in Hollywood is not a home. I do a film here, a film there, as they want it. I don't have a relationship. Like, Warner Bros. has a great relationship with Clint Eastwood and takes care of him.
Oliver Stone
I've changed my style constantly, so I'm not sure I have one defined style, except perhaps style of subject matter.
Oliver Stone
What needs to happen is more of a global understanding, and I believe the United States can work as a global partner and not be the hegemon.
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
I'm a dramatist. Dramatists have a right to look at history and interpret it the way they see it.
Oliver Stone
You always try to find the right style for the movie. That's the key.
Oliver Stone
Conspiracy nut, leftist, madman. These are terms of dismissal so you don't have to listen to the argument. It would be healthier and more fun to hear what someone has to say.
Oliver Stone
When I was a child, I'd see a movie, I took it for what it was, I enjoyed it. And if I believed it I would tend to be more interested in knowing more about it.
Oliver Stone
