I can't tell you how many times at the breakfast table my dad would curse out Franklin Roosevelt. I love my father.

Television has usurped everybody from film. And so have commercials, by the way.
Oliver Stone
The second [presidential] term changes, and I think that John F. Kennedy certainly ran on that and he knew that second term would give him oxygen, and he needed it. Unfortunately, he didn't get there.
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'm a history person I love history. But I am conditioned by the present.
Oliver Stone
When you look at a movie, you look at a director's thought process.
