I think there is a whole older generation that will go to movies still. People like me people over 45.
Oliver Stone
I see films in theaters, and I enjoy films. I enjoy the art of storytelling, and the different ways to tell them.
Oliver Stone
After World War II the Republicans - the Wall Street crowd - were very worried about a depression coming back. They hated Franklin Roosevelt in that crowd, my father among them. And there was a great fear in '46 that we'd fall back into the pits. And they always wanted to break up the Roosevelt legislation.
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.

Сyber-warfare is obviously the future. It's a real concern, but we lie so much about what we do that it's hard to know what's going on unless you really follow it.

Oliver Stone
I couldn't despise a man more than George W. Bush.

Oliver Stone
I'm a history person I love history. But I am conditioned by the present.
Oliver Stone
Well first of all you have to make the character strong so that people can follow that. And then hopefully that character can integrate with the background of the social situation that people can recognize.
Oliver Stone
I don't think most people in the US realize how important WikiLeaks is and why Julian's case needs support.
Oliver Stone
Well, George W.Bush wanted to privatize Social Security. It's an ideological thing.
Oliver Stone
Just because we live in a Christian era doesn't mean we're all Christian, necessarily.
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
Christianity did take a lot of Greek concepts.
Oliver Stone
We pray for no destruction, and for the forces of destruction not to take over.
Oliver Stone
But in answer to your question about the conspiracy angle, I think that any historian worth his salt, and this is where I fault Stephen Ambrose and a lot of these guys who attack me - not all of life is a result of conspiracy by any means! Accident occurs alongside conspiracy.
Oliver Stone
I wish that George W. Bush had gone to Vietnam, because he would have seen history in a different light. He would've experienced it in a different light because I don't think he understood the nature of war.
