I could stay making nice safe BBC movies for the rest of my life, so I decided to risk it. It was a challenge, to work with Oliver Stone.

Anthony Hopkins

I've become friends with Michael Mann and Oliver Stone; I've seen those guys work and that was great to see.

Antoine Fuqua

One of the things that sets Oliver Stone apart though is he is commercial. He is mainstream. He makes big movies and he is one of the last guys that can make big movies that actually have something to say, that you know challenge the audience in a way while entertaining them.

John Buffalo Mailer

Oliver Stone. Is that not enough?

Scott Eastwood

I spin around on the swivel chair and look up at the ceiling; Oliver being Oliver being Oliver being Oliver. I am suddenly aware of the separation between my-actual-self and myself-as-seen-by-others. Who would win in an arm wrestle? Who is better-looking? Who has the higher IQ?

Joe Dunthorne

Director Oliver Stone says he's going to make a movie about Vladimir Putin. I can't believe anyone would want to work with that insane communist. And Putin is a little crazy as well.

Craig Ferguson

I'd heard rumors about Oliver Stone before we went to work on and I don't get it. To me, he's one of the most sensitive directors. He is just fascinated by why people act in the ways that they do. His movies are an excuse to explore that idea, and he wants to work with people who are as passionate about exploring it as he is. So we got along brilliantly.

Josh Brolin

Nobody makes movies like Oliver Stone.

Shia LaBeouf

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

Claire Danes

Would we even recognize an Oliver Stone production if it didn't kick up the usual fuss?

Michelle Dean

For any actor to have Oliver Stone call him or her up? It?s a compliment. He expects you to be on your toes. If you?re not, he pokes at you until you react. He?s very provocative, creatively. It started like a lot of hard work, but it ended up a lot of fun.

Guillermo del Toro

I met Michael Milken for the first time with Oliver Stone at the Drexel Burnham offices in Los Angeles.

Michael Douglas

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.

Oliver Stone

Despite his reputation as one of America's foremost "serious" filmmakers, Oliver Stone's name under the "director" caption does not guarantee a good movie. I learned that lesson while enduring the seemingly-endless tedium of The Doors, and was reminded of it during some of the long, drawn-out portions of JFK. However, nothing that Stone has directed or misdirected prepared me for the grotesque mess that is Natural Born Killers.

James Berardinelli

I've done movies with Oliver Stone and Michael Mann. And I've done quite a few dramas in my time, from the theatre to film work. I just think the audience is used to seeing me on 'Saturday Night Live,' and 'K-9,' and 'Curly Sue' and of course, 'According to Jim.' I think that my comedies have been the most popular.
