More quotes by 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
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.
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
I think experience will teach you a combination of liberalism and conservatism. We have to be progressive and at the same time we have to retain values. We have to hold onto the past as we explore the future.
Oliver Stone
As a dramatist, I don't have politics.
Oliver Stone
One of the joys of going to the movies was that it was trashy, and we should never lose that.
Oliver Stone
I'm more comfortable with simplicity as I get older.
Oliver Stone
When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.
Oliver Stone
My home in Hollywood is not a home. I do a film here, a film there, as they want it. I don't have a relationship. Like, Warner Bros. has a great relationship with Clint Eastwood and takes care of him.
Oliver Stone
Hell is the impossibility of reason.
Oliver Stone
My ego is nothing - look what Alexander the Great achieved. And I felt he was a figure outside time, a figure we don't even understand, because he's frankly pre-Christian, and his concepts of honor go back to Homer.
Oliver Stone
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
From '45, the moment Franklin Roosevelt dies, we're running ratlines with the Germans, helping Nazis escape.
Oliver Stone
I am not trying to be a historian and a dramatist I'm a dramatist, a dramatic historian, or one who does a dramatic interpretation of history.
Oliver Stone
I do believe that movies are subject to a million interpretations.
Oliver Stone
I think our life is a series of adventures.
Oliver Stone
We could learn a lot from the ancients, and we should go back there.
Oliver Stone
People should really horde their Blu-rays like old comic books and baseball cards. Because they're really beautiful, and will be worth something if you like movies as I do.
Oliver Stone
I may have disparaged the idea that people are looking at films on smaller and smaller screens... it's a shame that people have to watch DVDs with the lights on in a television-type situation where people are wandering in and out of the room. Movies are different from television, and you cannot watch movies like television. It distorts it.
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.
