More quotes by Charlton Heston
I don't think rock music has any positive function.
Charlton Heston
You could say that the paparazzi and the tabloids are sort of the 'assault weapons' of the First Amendment. They're ugly, a lot of people don't like them, but they're protected by the First Amendment - just as 'assault weapons' are protected by the Second Amendment.
Charlton Heston
In what I think is the most serious problem the world faces, which is the population explosion, we will come I think to a time when measures that are not even dreamt of now will become necessary.
Charlton Heston
An epic is the easiest kind of picture to make badly.
Charlton Heston
I think narcotics and alcohol, and even tobacco are enormously costly ingredients in our society.
Charlton Heston
To the divisive forces that would take freedom away, I want to tell you something: You can have my gun. You can pry it from my cold dead hands!
Charlton Heston
For an actor, there is no greater loss than the loss of his audience.
Charlton Heston
You can spend a lifetime, and, if you're honest with yourself, never once was your work perfect.
Charlton Heston
I think there are probably more closet conservatives in Hollywood than there are closet homosexuals.
Charlton Heston
It's the camel's nose in the tent. Look at Stalin, Mussolini, Hitler, Mao Zedong, Pol Pot, Idi Amin - every one of these monsters, on seizing power, their first act was to confiscate all firearms in private hands.
Charlton Heston
My dissatisfaction with television as a medium has nothing to do with the audience or the fact that you don't require as much time to do it as you do a movie, but with its technical limitations.
Charlton Heston
Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a decent person is no threat to anybody — except bad people.
Charlton Heston
As an actor, I'm thankful I have lived not one life, but many.
Charlton Heston
To the world, you are America.
Charlton Heston
I don't seem to fit really into the 20th Century
Charlton Heston
We will preach the truth to a new generation: The doorway to all freedoms is framed with muskets. It's time the apologists step aside and let freedom's followers lead the way.
Charlton Heston
As I have stood in the crosshairs of those who target Second Amendment freedoms, I've realized that firearms are not the only issue. No, it's much, much bigger than that. I've come to understand that a cultural war is raging across our land, in which, with Orwellian fervor, certain acceptable thoughts and speech are mandated.
Charlton Heston
The prime motivation in making almost any film is success, because film is the art form of the 20th century.
Charlton Heston
Skijoring is just something that people want to see, it's like Ben Hur on snow, the modern way. I love the speed, the adrenalin rush is something special. It's just unique.
Charlton Heston
A clear enunciation of these rights needs to be enshrined in the constitution to guarantee that this basic right of law-abiding gun owners and sportsmen shall not be infringed upon by anti-gun public officials.
