Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.

I think there is a whole older generation that will go to movies still. People like me people over 45.

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.

America is the strongest empire ever, with the largest military. We spend ten times what the Russians do. And they have equal nuclear ability as we do, because they're precise.

When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.
Oliver Stone

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.

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.

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.

I never put out a history, I put out a dramatic history.

In digital, you can maintain the quality.
Oliver Stone
Image
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.
Oliver Stone
Image
Well, George W.Bush wanted to privatize Social Security. It's an ideological thing.
Oliver Stone
Image
I see films in theaters, and I enjoy films. I enjoy the art of storytelling, and the different ways to tell them.
Oliver Stone
Image
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
Image
From '45, the moment Franklin Roosevelt dies, we're running ratlines with the Germans, helping Nazis escape.

Very few people know that there is a whole school of historians that have existed in the United States from the 1940s and the early '50s that were revisionists. They were attacking the whole basis of the history of the Cold War. People like D.F. Fleming, William Appleman Williams.

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.

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.
