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

In digital, you can maintain the quality.
Oliver Stone
Image
I think any filmmaker will tell you when they wandered from theater to theater to watch their prints, it was disheartening to see the poor levels of light and the disrespect for films that existed in certain theater chains. It was always inconsistent.
Oliver Stone
Image
I don't think most people in the US realize how important WikiLeaks is and why Julian's case needs support.
Oliver Stone
Image
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
Image
Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.
Oliver Stone
Image
I've changed my style constantly, so I'm not sure I have one defined style, except perhaps style of subject matter.
Oliver Stone
Image
I was lost, and that war [in Vietnam] was very alienating - not that I was against it or for it, but I was just lost after that war. As were many Americans.

Image
I would vote for the man who's lived life, who's done different occupations, who's been out in the real world and struggled to make a living, struggled to raise a family, struggled with life as it exists. So I'd vote for experience, honest experience.

We have enormous challenges in front of us.
Oliver Stone
Image
Well, George W.Bush wanted to privatize Social Security. It's an ideological thing.
Oliver Stone
Image
Just because we live in a Christian era doesn't mean we're all Christian, necessarily.
Oliver Stone
Image
My ego is nothing - look what Alexander the Great achieved. And I felt he was a figure outside time, a figure we don't even understand, because he's frankly pre-Christian, and his concepts of honor go back to Homer.
Oliver Stone
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Every day that you get up, it's some kind of victory if you're making a good product, or working on a project that can only help mankind. We pray for no destruction, and for the forces of destruction not to take over. We're all divided, but some of us have children, and we are invested in the future and would like to see good things happen.
Oliver Stone
Image
Christianity did take a lot of Greek concepts.
Oliver Stone
Image
We could learn a lot from the ancients, and we should go back there.
Oliver Stone
Image
One of the joys of going to the movies was that it was trashy, and we should never lose that.
