Maybe Oliver Stone doesn't lend himself well to remakes or sequels, because he does them so well the first time.

As much as I hate his movies, Oliver Stone has an aspiration I admire, and that is that he wants his art to be part of what makes and changes public policy and cultural practice.

I'm a fan of Oliver Stone. I like his movies, I like his excess, and I think he has a great capacity for empathy and it comes out more powerfully in this movie than in any of his other films, even the formal 'I'm identifying with the underdog' movies like 'Born on the Fourth of July.'

Nobody is a perfect actor.

Nobody became an actor because he had a good childhood.

You never make movies for Oscars.

No actor can be a complete artist without trying his/her hand at comic roles.

Nobody should come to the movies unless he believes in heroes.

Oliver Stone's strategy is to unnerve the actors so as to make them alert and alive.
