Oliver Stone
I'm more comfortable with simplicity as I get older.
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
Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.
Oliver Stone
I like automatic weapons. I fought for my right to use them in Vietnam.
Oliver Stone
You don't always have to have an e-book. You can have a real book. I'd like to see the old way maintain.
