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.
Oliver Stone
We have enormous challenges in front of us.
Oliver Stone
I do believe that movies are subject to a million interpretations.
Oliver Stone
I'm not an activist. I'm a filmmaker. I'm a dramatist. My strength is to tell a story, to find a way to tell a story that makes it exciting. Our Untold History was a huge challenge. Snowden was no piece of cake, because writing code and breaking code is some of the most boring stuff you've ever seen.
Oliver Stone
Just because we live in a Christian era doesn't mean we're all Christian, necessarily.
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.

You don't always have to have an e-book. You can have a real book. I'd like to see the old way maintain.
Oliver Stone
I might as well be myself. Everyone else is taken.
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
I'm interested, I suppose, in tortured power.
Oliver Stone
Television has usurped everybody from film. And so have commercials, by the way.
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
I think that many people in history who had power were bumped off because they had power.
Oliver Stone
When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.
Oliver Stone
In digital, you can maintain the quality.
Oliver Stone
I make my films like you're going to die if you miss the next minute. You better not go get popcorn.
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
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
