More quotes by Oliver Stone
When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.
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
Television has usurped everybody from film. And so have commercials, by the way.
Oliver Stone
People should really horde their Blu-rays like old comic books and baseball cards. Because they're really beautiful, and will be worth something if you like movies as I do.
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
My ego is nothing - look what Alexander the Great achieved. And I felt he was a figure outside time, a figure we don't even understand, because he's frankly pre-Christian, and his concepts of honor go back to Homer.
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
I'd rather get past the tyranny of now, where you get judged for something based on what's happening at the moment.
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
What Chavez has done [in Venezuela] is that he has brought extreme poverty to an end.
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
[Fidel Castro] has a very good [human rights] record.
Oliver Stone
I see films in theaters, and I enjoy films. I enjoy the art of storytelling, and the different ways to tell them.
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
Hell is the impossibility of reason.
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
I can't tell you how many times at the breakfast table my dad would curse out Franklin Roosevelt. I love my father. He was an intelligent man, but he really didn't like regulations of the Roosevelt style, or the taxes. He was an Dwight Eisenhower man. And that's what Eisenhower did, committed to breaking down the program.
Oliver Stone
Horses are very difficult to shoot.
Oliver Stone
Conspiracy nut, leftist, madman. These are terms of dismissal so you don't have to listen to the argument. It would be healthier and more fun to hear what someone has to say.
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
