More quotes by 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
You do the best job you can. You take it step by step. It's hard enough to make a movie. If it works, that's great. If it means something beyond the moment to somebody, they can take it and it lasts through the years, we'll see.
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
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
Every time you go into a movie, you go into the point of view of who it is about.
Oliver Stone
I don't think most people in the US realize how important WikiLeaks is and why Julian's case needs support.
Oliver Stone
I wish that George W. Bush had gone to Vietnam, because he would have seen history in a different light. He would've experienced it in a different light because I don't think he understood the nature of war.
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
There is a narrative to every life, and I believe in the classic mode of storytelling that goes back to Homer and carries through to today.
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'd rather get past the tyranny of now, where you get judged for something based on what's happening at the moment.
Oliver Stone
Independence is a state of mind. Independence is spirit without category.
Oliver Stone
I do believe there are leaders who are like lightning and they come along and they lead. The Lincolns of the world, the Alexander the Greats, they do exist. They have existed.
Oliver Stone
I think there is a whole older generation that will go to movies still. People like me people over 45.
Oliver Stone
I like automatic weapons. I fought for my right to use them in Vietnam.
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
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
I don't agree with Bernie Sanders that the banks should be broken up at this point. But Hillary Clinton's acceptance of huge contributions from Goldman Sachs and others... And we don't debate what Clinton has done. She has a public record. She's been Secretary of State. She's basically a candidate of Wall Street, for Wall Street.
Oliver Stone
Each actor requires a different language.
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
