More quotes by Oliver Stone
Independence is a state of mind. Independence is spirit without category.
Oliver Stone
In digital, you can maintain the quality.
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
Franklin Roosevelt saw the world as a possible alliance, with the UN involved, of course, where we would never have these kinds of wars again. And he was equally opposed to the British Empire as he was against the Communist Russians.

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
I'm going to hold onto my Blu-ray collection because I really think it's hardware and it's important. I don't want to live in a cloud, all my life.
Oliver Stone
JFK was leading the world, leading the United States into a new position with the Soviet Union. He was calling for the end of the Cold War. He would have been reelected in 1964 because he was vastly popular.
Oliver Stone
[When making movies I] set out to be authentic to [myself] and to put it down the way [I] feel it and know it and interpret it. And then others sometimes key into it and get it.
Oliver Stone
I'm trying to understand my life. The one that I've experienced.
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.

Oliver Stone
In any film there's always a historical implication.
Oliver Stone
Christianity did take a lot of Greek concepts.
Oliver Stone
Hell is the impossibility of reason.
Oliver Stone
I'd like to be honest to my time, and I lived from 1946, and I want to understand why our country, which I love so much, and was a great country when I was young, it seemed, became this monster vampire on the face of humanity- a vampire squid, to quote Matt Taibbi, sucking out the juices of all mankind. Why? It's a basic question.
Oliver Stone
As a dramatist, I don't have politics.
Oliver Stone
What needs to happen is more of a global understanding, and I believe the United States can work as a global partner and not be the hegemon.
Oliver Stone
I think there is a whole older generation that will go to movies still. People like me people over 45.
Oliver Stone
I've changed my style constantly, so I'm not sure I have one defined style, except perhaps style of subject matter.
Oliver Stone
Each year, the The U.S. Army & its contractors SHOOT, STAB, MUTILATE, & KILL more than TEN THOUSAND live animals in cruel training exercises.
Oliver Stone
I'm a history person I love history. But I am conditioned by the present.
Oliver Stone
