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.

More quotes by Oliver Stone
In digital, you can maintain the quality.
Oliver Stone
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
I never put out a history, I put out a dramatic history.
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
I'd like to be honest to my time, and I lived from 1946, and I want to understand why our country, which I love so much, and was a great country when I was young, it seemed, became this monster vampire on the face of humanity- a vampire squid, to quote Matt Taibbi, sucking out the juices of all mankind. Why? It's a basic question.
Oliver Stone
Well, George W.Bush wanted to privatize Social Security. It's an ideological thing.
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
In any film there's always a historical implication.
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
Hell is the impossibility of reason.
Oliver Stone
Horses are very difficult to shoot.
Oliver Stone
It's interesting that when economic times were the hardest, that's when many people embraced liberalism.
Oliver Stone
I'm terrible at horror movies, by the way. I get scared so easily.
Oliver Stone
People are still living in the moment, and they feel the passion of now.
Oliver Stone
People should really horde their Blu-rays like old comic books and baseball cards. Because they're really beautiful, and will be worth something if you like movies as I do.
Oliver Stone
I'm more comfortable with simplicity as I get older.
Oliver Stone
Each actor requires a different language.
Oliver Stone
I'm a dramatist. Dramatists have a right to look at history and interpret it the way they see it.
Oliver Stone
Every time you go into a movie, you go into the point of view of who it is about.
Oliver Stone
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.
Oliver Stone
