I've come to feel very strongly, not as a joke, that if you appoint a committee of more than four people, their efficiency starts to deteriorate.

More quotes by Charlton Heston
A war put off is not a war avoided.
Charlton Heston
You can spend a lifetime, and, if you're honest with yourself, never once was your work perfect.
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
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
Well, we have certainly produced great art before we did this. In my view, there are any number of areas of government which tax money should not be spent.
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
Life is full of surprises, isn't it?
Charlton Heston
[President Clinton] boasts about 186,000 people denied firearms under the Brady Law rules. The Brady Law has been in force for three years. In that time, they have prosecuted seven people and put three of them in prison. You know, the President has entertained more felons than that at fundraising coffees in the White House, for Pete's sake.
Charlton Heston
If you talk about race, it does not make you a racist. If you see distinctions between the genders, it does not make you a sexist. If you think critically about a denomination, it does not make you anti-religion. If you accept but don't celebrate homosexuality, it does not make you a homophobe.
Charlton Heston
A policemans job is only easy in a police state.
Charlton Heston
I have lived my whole life on the stage and screen before you. I found purpose and meaning in your response.
Charlton Heston
You could think of extraordinary examples to the contrary: The Grapes of Wrath... and even into the 70s.
Charlton Heston
I don't think rock music has any positive function.
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
As an actor, I'm thankful I have lived not one life, but many.
Charlton Heston
In the mainstream film market, certainly in television, sex is handled fairly discreetly. I think the abuse of extraordinarily graphic violence and language presses much closer to the tolerance of public taste.
Charlton Heston
The prime motivation in making almost any film is success, because film is the art form of 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
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.
Charlton Heston
