I might as well be myself. Everyone else is taken.

Football is mesmerizing, because it's a figurative war. You go in one direction till you get there, but you get there as a team, not as an individual. Players bond whether they're black or white, much as soldiers do.

Each actor requires a different language.

When I go to the movies, and I have to sit through ten previews of films that look [alike] and tell the whole story, you know that we've reached an age of consensus. And consensus is the worst thing for us. We all agree to agree. That's where we lose it as a culture. We have to move away from that.

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

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.

I would vote for the man who's lived life, who's done different occupations, who's been out in the real world and struggled to make a living, struggled to raise a family, struggled with life as it exists. So I'd vote for experience, honest experience.

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

I think our life is a series of adventures.
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
Image
We all know what we know. We experience with our minds and breath.
Oliver Stone
Image
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.

You're not a historian, but most historians will tell you that they make very discrete judgment as to what facts to omit in order to make their book into some shape, some length that can be managed.

I'm a history person I love history. But I am conditioned by the present.
