More quotes by Oliver Stone
Bernie Sanders is a disappointment on foreign policy, totally doesn't think about it. But he has the possibility to be more isolationist, which would be good for us actually. We manage to kill several million people on this planet without taking any credit for it or blame. It's a heavy karma we have.
Oliver Stone
I might as well be myself. Everyone else is taken.
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.
Oliver Stone
Bin Laden was completely protected by the oil companies in this country who told [President] Bush not to go after him because it would piss off the Saudis.
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
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
When I was a child, I'd see a movie, I took it for what it was, I enjoyed it. And if I believed it I would tend to be more interested in knowing more about it.
Oliver Stone
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.
Oliver Stone
There is a narrative to every life, and I believe in the classic mode of storytelling that goes back to Homer and carries through to today.
Oliver Stone
Every day that you get up, it's some kind of victory if you're making a good product, or working on a project that can only help mankind. We pray for no destruction, and for the forces of destruction not to take over. We're all divided, but some of us have children, and we are invested in the future and would like to see good things happen.
Oliver Stone
I think any filmmaker will tell you when they wandered from theater to theater to watch their prints, it was disheartening to see the poor levels of light and the disrespect for films that existed in certain theater chains. It was always inconsistent.
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
I couldn't despise a man more than George W. Bush.
Oliver Stone
I do have a side as a citizen, and I've always expressed it, and that's where I've gotten into misunderstandings, because some people see me as a leftist nut or whatever. A conspiracy nut. All that stuff. These are definitions that don't really apply to a dramatist, because a dramatist is working from empathy.
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
Christianity did take a lot of Greek concepts.
Oliver Stone
Each actor requires a different language.
Oliver Stone
I don't want to make a half-assed film. It's not my area of expertise.
Oliver Stone
Now, we live in an age where we have so much information that we do tend to overload. The Greeks did too, though.
Oliver Stone
As a dramatist, I don't have politics.
