"I couldn’t believe it when I went back to do 'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,' 20, 25 years later," continues Stone, "that the numbers that are hundred million dollars were a huge amount back then became a billion dollars and billions of dollars and these corporations were wheeling and dealing without any – without the ownership issue is gone."

    I really liked this interview. I liked the kaleidoscopic issues discussed.
    I, especially, liked what he said about his wife.

    I am so confused!!

    I think some part of the interview wasn't aired! At least on CNN International???

    Lots of the quotes in the beginning of Oliver Stone, wasn't shown in the actual interview!!! Or did I miss a segment of the interview?

    For example, in the clip, Piers asks Stone: "What is the best party you have ever been to?" and Stone replied "There were so many. I guess

    I was lucky!". But in the actual interview, this exchange wasn't shown!!! I have rewatched my recording three times, and I am dead-sure

    it wasn't in there!

    And the quote mentioned above by "WorldCares" about selflessness... That wasn't in the interview I saw, either!!

    This is sooo strange. Has some of the interview shown to the international audience been censored, or what??

    I have never experienced this before – that clips shown in the lead-up to the interview, weren't actually aired in the interview itself!!

      Without selflessness, we cannot see, is what I said.
      If I had quoted Mr. Stone, it would have been in quotation marks.
      The clip always condenses the interview.

    Matthew Dowd says Oliver Stone is CIA. This unconfirmed rumor appears to be going viral.
