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
From '45, the moment Franklin Roosevelt dies, we're running ratlines with the Germans, helping Nazis escape.
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
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
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
I love the act of writing. I like the quiet, internal aspect of it. If I lost track of that, I couldn't direct the same way. I couldn't be a director for-hire it's just not my nature.
Oliver Stone
Horses are very difficult to shoot.
Oliver Stone
I think that many people in history who had power were bumped off because they had power.
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
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
People are still living in the moment, and they feel the passion of now.
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
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
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
One of my fantasies in my life has been that I was granted access with a camera to go back in time, and to film the actual campaign of Alexander crossing into India through Iran and Persia.
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
Anyone can relate to suffering in this world.
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
When I was a child, I'd see a movie, I took it for what it was, I enjoyed it. And if I believed it I would tend to be more interested in knowing more about it.
Oliver Stone
We pray for no destruction, and for the forces of destruction not to take over.
Oliver Stone
