Oliver Stone
"I have reason to be depressed, especially as a Vietnam veteran, many Vietnam veterans are very depressed about where we are in Iraq."

He added that the events of September 11 had been "politicised intensely". "9/11 became an issue of fear," he said.

Spike Lee, also in town to publicise a film in Europe, was typically outspoken about U.S. President George W. Bush.

"Bush doesn't care about poor or white people either. If you're poor ... he doesn't care about you period. You've got to have a certain amount of money in your bank account, then you matter." (Spike Lee)
