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
Every time you go into a movie, you go into the point of view of who it is about.
Oliver Stone
I'm a dramatist. Dramatists have a right to look at history and interpret it the way they see it.
Oliver Stone
I don't want to make a half-assed film. It's not my area of expertise.
Oliver Stone
The second [presidential] term changes, and I think that John F. Kennedy certainly ran on that and he knew that second term would give him oxygen, and he needed it. Unfortunately, he didn't get there.
Oliver Stone
We all know what we know. We experience with our minds and breath.
Oliver Stone
A lot of the good cameraman who we used are doing television work they're doing commercials for a lot of money. And the commercials look incredible. But what's it about? I made three major commercial campaigns. I enjoyed it, I experimented with it, and at the end of the day I felt no satisfaction. It was like having a fast food lunch.
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
I couldn't despise a man more than George W. Bush.
Oliver Stone
Bernie Sanders is a disappointment on foreign policy, totally doesn't think about it. But he has the possibility to be more isolationist, which would be good for us actually. We manage to kill several million people on this planet without taking any credit for it or blame. It's a heavy karma we have.
Oliver Stone
You've also heard stories about how the military-industrial complex really does prefer Hilary Clinton because they know that she's not nuts like some of the Republicans. She will do what they bid. And what they want is basically to stay healthy.
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 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
I think there is a whole older generation that will go to movies still. People like me people over 45.
Oliver Stone
Pat Nixon was called the Mona Lisa of American politics. She never wrote anything. Her interviews tell us nothing.
Oliver Stone
In digital, you can maintain the quality.
Oliver Stone
I've changed my style constantly, so I'm not sure I have one defined style, except perhaps style of subject matter.
Oliver Stone
You're not a historian, but most historians will tell you that they make very discrete judgment as to what facts to omit in order to make their book into some shape, some length that can be managed.
Oliver Stone
Concepts of integrity and heroism and honor are still important to the world today. Some people behave well, and some people behave badly.
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
I'm trying to understand my life. The one that I've experienced.
Oliver Stone
