More quotes by Oliver Stone
I'm terrible at horror movies, by the way. I get scared so easily.
Oliver Stone
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.
Oliver Stone
[Fidel Castro] has a very good [human rights] record.
Oliver Stone
Anyone can relate to suffering in this world.
Oliver Stone
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
I was lost, and that war [in Vietnam] was very alienating - not that I was against it or for it, but I was just lost after that war. As were many Americans.
Oliver Stone
Kennedy was significantly different than Eisenhower before him, and different from Johnson after him. So those three years were the beginning of a détente with the Soviet Union, a new feeling for peace, a seeking out of a new ally with the Soviet Union - the end of the Cold War, as Kennedy called it in his American University speech.
Oliver Stone
I like automatic weapons. I fought for my right to use them in Vietnam.
Oliver Stone
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.
Oliver Stone
Pat Nixon was called the Mona Lisa of American politics. She never wrote anything. Her interviews tell us nothing.
Oliver Stone
writing = ass + chair
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
It's interesting that when economic times were the hardest, that's when many people embraced liberalism.
Oliver Stone
By creating false environment of a war on drugs, and cruel and unusual punishment with these crimes, 50% of our U.S. population is in jail without having hurt anybody, mostly for drugs.
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
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
What Chavez has done [in Venezuela] is that he has brought extreme poverty to an end.
Oliver Stone
I do believe that movies are subject to a million interpretations.
Oliver Stone
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.
Oliver Stone
I wish that George W. Bush had gone to Vietnam, because he would have seen history in a different light. He would've experienced it in a different light because I don't think he understood the nature of war.
