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.

Oliver Stone

Сyber-warfare is obviously the future. It’s a real concern, but we lie so much about what we do that it’s hard to know what’s going on unless you really follow it.
OLIVER STONE

Concern Lying Real
When I’m working with another writer, I tend to make a lot of effort. When I collaborate with a writer, I’m not interested in credit, but I’m feeding him stuff all the time that I feel is important to shaping the script.

Credit Effort Important
Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works.
OLIVER STONE

Great Greed Movie Year
For some reason, television still bores me. Even the best shows.
OLIVER STONE

Reason Shows Television

Dramatist History Looks Way

I have the right to interpretation as a dramatist. I research. It’s my responsibility to find the research. It’s my responsibility to digest it and do the best that I can with it. But at a certain point that responsibility will become an interpretation.
OLIVER STONE

Interpretation Research Responsibility
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.
OLIVER STONE

Narrative Suppose Trying
I think that many people in history who had power were bumped off because they had power.
OLIVER STONE

Bumped People Thinking
Get the overall. Some of my films may have been crude at times, or tough, or missed the points, but I’ve tried to get the overall in. I think that’s more important. You may miss a thing or two, but you move faster. If you can do it in three takes, do it in three takes.
OLIVER STONE

Moving Thinking Two
You can never judge how the film will be taken; you can only make your best effort, and put out what you feel. How it’s read, you never can tell. Or remembered for that matter.
OLIVER STONE

Best Effort Judging Taken
