One of the joys of going to the movies was that it was trashy, and we should never lose that.
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.

Christianity did take a lot of Greek concepts.

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.

Image
Every day that you get up, it's some kind of victory if you're making a good product, or working on a project that can only help mankind. We pray for no destruction, and for the forces of destruction not to take over. We're all divided, but some of us have children, and we are invested in the future and would like to see good things happen.

I'm a dramatist. Dramatists have a right to look at history and interpret it the way they see it.
Oliver Stone
Image
I think that many people in history who had power were bumped off because they had power.

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.

Conspiracy nut, leftist, madman. These are terms of dismissal so you don't have to listen to the argument. It would be healthier and more fun to hear what someone has to say.
Oliver Stone
Image
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
Image
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.

Hell is the impossibility of reason.
