I trust people who are violent about art, as long as they aren't closed-minded. But, unfortunately, most art blowhards are also art bigots.

I know what I like—I like art—and I like what I know.
Vincent Price
Image
We may all be a peculiar lot...often broke, often dissatisfied because we're not doing more and better work...but we know how to have a ball that makes the rest of the world seem square.
Vincent Price

Sometimes you read a passage by a great writer, and you know what he says and how he says it will always be, for you, the only possible way it could be. Less often a painter will describe an event in a way that fits into your interpretation of that event so perfectly that it becomes the event itself.
Vincent Price

If I could prescribe a single rule for looking at a work of art it would be to enjoy it. If we're honest with ourselves, we have to admit we enjoy our tears just as much as we enjoy our laughter. The only moments of life that are a bore are when we don't care one way or another.

I don't play monsters. I play men besieged by fate and out for revenge.
Vincent Price
Image
Art is excitement which if we can't create ourselves, we can at least, through love of it, make available to others.
Vincent Price
Image
Be curious about life, and cautious with it!
Vincent Price
Image
There comes a time in life when you know what you like and have to make up your mind to like what you know, or at least have begun to know. In other words, you must determine in what direction your knowledge is leading, thus far.
Vincent Price
Image
We exponents of horror do much better than those Method actors. We make the unbelievable believable. More often than not, they make the believable unbelievable.

No one but Gene Tierney could have played 'Laura.' There was no other actress around with her particular combination of beauty, breeding, and mystery.
Vincent Price
Image
Well, what do you owe yourself? Do you dare take time out to listen to the grass grow, or can you even afford the expense of getting far enough away from life's daily cacophony to hear it grow if you took the time?
Vincent Price
Image
What's important about an actor is his acting, not his life.
Vincent Price
Image
It's just endless what you can learn from a single work of art. You can fill up the crevices of your life, the cracks of your life, the places where the mortar comes out and falls away-you can fill it up with the love of art.
Vincent Price
Image
Someone called actors 'sculptors in snow.' Very apt. In the end, it's all nothing.
Vincent Price
Image
Do you ever rub your eyes and suddenly find you're awake and not asleep, as you'd grown to suspect you were?
Vincent Price
Image
I sometimes feel that I'm impersonating the dark unconscious of the whole human race. I know this sounds sick, but I love it.

There is nothing more soul-satisfying than the first succulent bite into the juicy frankfurter.
Vincent Price
Image
Man has ruled this world as a stumbling demented child king, long enough. And as his empire crumbles, my precious black widow shall rise as his most fitting successor.

It's as much fun to scare as to be scared.

A man who limits his interests limits his life.
