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
Maybe it's good if God gives you something to think about every so often.
Charlton Heston
As an actor, I'm thankful I have lived not one life, but many.
Charlton Heston
Life is full of surprises, isn't it?
