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
It's interesting that when economic times were the hardest, that's when many people embraced liberalism.
Oliver Stone
You've also heard stories about how the military-industrial complex really does prefer Hilary Clinton because they know that she's not nuts like some of the Republicans. She will do what they bid. And what they want is basically to stay healthy.
Oliver Stone
Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.
Oliver Stone
This myth that America has this atomic bomb that makes us right, it makes us good, it makes us set the agenda for the world. Everywhere, we can go global, we determine.

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.

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 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'm a dramatist. Dramatists have a right to look at history and interpret it the way they see it.
Oliver Stone
I think experience will teach you a combination of liberalism and conservatism. We have to be progressive and at the same time we have to retain values. We have to hold onto the past as we explore the future.
Oliver Stone
I make my films like you're going to die if you miss the next minute. You better not go get popcorn.
Oliver Stone
I'm interested, I suppose, in tortured power.
Oliver Stone
I'm more comfortable with simplicity as I get older.
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
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
What I've experienced, I'm trying to put in a narrative form, I suppose, to say that it does make sense in this way.

writing = ass + chair
