More quotes by Oliver Stone
I think our life is a series of adventures.
Oliver Stone
I like automatic weapons. I fought for my right to use them in Vietnam.
Oliver Stone
Franklin Roosevelt saw the world as a possible alliance, with the UN involved, of course, where we would never have these kinds of wars again. And he was equally opposed to the British Empire as he was against the Communist Russians.
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 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.
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
I'm a history person I love history. But I am conditioned by the present.
Oliver Stone
I gave up on America. I read the Times just to find out what they're thinking. I read blogs. I get most of my best information from people who are there, people who write independently. And there's actually very few of them.
Oliver Stone
I'm trying to understand my life. The one that I've experienced.
Oliver Stone
We all know what we know. We experience with our minds and breath.
Oliver Stone
Just because we live in a Christian era doesn't mean we're all Christian, necessarily.
Oliver Stone
[Fidel Castro] has a very good [human rights] record.
Oliver Stone
Venezuela is a democratically elected government. These people who keep protesting are sore losers.
Oliver Stone
What Chavez has done [in Venezuela] is that he has brought extreme poverty to an end.
Oliver Stone
America is the strongest empire ever, with the largest military. We spend ten times what the Russians do. And they have equal nuclear ability as we do, because they're precise.
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
A life like Nixon's is filled with shame and filled with glory. He loved to quote Teddy Roosevelt: He was a man sometimes right, sometimes wrong, but he was a man. I love that line.
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
From '45, the moment Franklin Roosevelt dies, we're running ratlines with the Germans, helping Nazis escape.
Oliver Stone
I'm going to hold onto my Blu-ray collection because I really think it's hardware and it's important. I don't want to live in a cloud, all my life.
Oliver Stone
