missing next popcorn
I make my films like you're going to die if you miss the next minute. You better not go get popcorn.
independence mind spirit
Independence is a state of mind. Independence is spirit without category.
strong character people
Well first of all you have to make the character strong so that people can follow that. And then hopefully that character can integrate with the background of the social situation that people can recognize.
gun vietnam weapons
I like automatic weapons. I fought for my right to use them in Vietnam.
feelings age would-be
I'd like to do a story about the medieval ages where in every scene you'd sort of feel that you were in the 12th century. That would be great to get that feeling.
directors fiction film
I love films. I love fiction films, too. I do. I love making them, but it has to be the right one. Hopefully, I'll never become a director for hire. It's horrible to make a film that you're not really interested in.
independent choices cinema
Forget the grand plan. Forget the master scheme. Forget control. That is the bleak but true basis of independent cinema. Inch by motherfuking inch we must, because we have no other choice.
dramatic
I never put out a history, I put out a dramatic history.
moving stones film
When I make a new movie, I always get stuck with, "That's not an Oliver Stone film." But I don't know what to do about that except just move on.
american-director asked interested opened praised somebody
If anything, if you can get somebody interested in something and get them excited, that's great. You should be praised for having opened the debate and having asked the right questions.
