More quotes by Oliver Stone
When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.
Oliver Stone
Every time you go into a movie, you go into the point of view of who it is about.
Oliver Stone
I never put out a history, I put out a dramatic history.
Oliver Stone
Christianity did take a lot of Greek concepts.
Oliver Stone
Well first of all you have to make the character strong so that people can follow that. And then hopefully that character can integrate with the background of the social situation that people can recognize.
Oliver Stone
I'm more comfortable with simplicity as I get older.
Oliver Stone
I like automatic weapons. I fought for my right to use them in Vietnam.
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
One of the joys of going to the movies was that it was trashy, and we should never lose that.
Oliver Stone
Every movie requires its own style. Just be honest to the story. Tell the story in the best possible way that is different, exciting and original.
Oliver Stone
This myth that America has this atomic bomb that makes us right, it makes us good, it makes us set the agenda for the world. Everywhere, we can go global, we determine.
Oliver Stone
When I go to the movies, and I have to sit through ten previews of films that look [alike] and tell the whole story, you know that we've reached an age of consensus. And consensus is the worst thing for us. We all agree to agree. That's where we lose it as a culture. We have to move away from that.
Oliver Stone
I may have disparaged the idea that people are looking at films on smaller and smaller screens... it's a shame that people have to watch DVDs with the lights on in a television-type situation where people are wandering in and out of the room. Movies are different from television, and you cannot watch movies like television. It distorts it.
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
JFK was leading the world, leading the United States into a new position with the Soviet Union. He was calling for the end of the Cold War. He would have been reelected in 1964 because he was vastly popular.
Oliver Stone
Hell is the impossibility of reason.
Oliver Stone
I make my films like you're going to die if you miss the next minute. You better not go get popcorn.
Oliver Stone
I don't want to make a half-assed film. It's not my area of expertise.
Oliver Stone
I think that many people in history who had power were bumped off because they had power.
Oliver Stone
I believe in intermissions. I lived through this experience with JFK and Nixon. JFK should have had an intermission. It should have come right after the Donald Sutherland scene, because then there's just too much information flooding in. You need a break. Same on Nixon. It was a long film, but I couldn't help it, with that kind of subject.
