More quotes by Oliver Stone
I like automatic weapons. I fought for my right to use them in Vietnam.
Oliver Stone

Oliver Stone
Each actor requires a different language.
Oliver Stone
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.
Oliver Stone
When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.
