I'm trying to understand my life. The one that I've experienced.
Oliver Stone
Image
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
Image
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
Image
I can't tell you how many times at the breakfast table my dad would curse out Franklin Roosevelt. I love my father. He was an intelligent man, but he really didn't like regulations of the Roosevelt style, or the taxes. He was an Dwight Eisenhower man. And that's what Eisenhower did, committed to breaking down the program.

There is nothing inherently wrong with greed as a human motivator - greed motivating evolution. But there's a huge disconnect between the classes. It is very demoralizing to work for someone who makes a billion dollars a year while you make just barely enough to make it.

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.

I believe in intermissions. I lived through this experience with JFK and Nixon. JFK should have had an intermission. It should have come right after the Donald Sutherland scene, because then there's just too much information flooding in. You need a break. Same on Nixon. It was a long film, but I couldn't help it, with that kind of subject.

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

We could learn a lot from the ancients, and we should go back there.

There is a narrative to every life, and I believe in the classic mode of storytelling that goes back to Homer and carries through to today.
Oliver Stone
Image
What I've experienced, I'm trying to put in a narrative form, I suppose, to say that it does make sense in this way.
Oliver Stone
Image
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.

In digital, you can maintain the quality.

Christianity did take a lot of Greek concepts.
Oliver Stone
Image
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

Independence is a state of mind. Independence is spirit without category.
Oliver Stone
Image
I never put out a history, I put out a dramatic history.
Oliver Stone

I've changed my style constantly, so I'm not sure I have one defined style, except perhaps style of subject matter.

I make my films like you're going to die if you miss the next minute. You better not go get popcorn.
