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.
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.
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
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.

In art, religion, and politics the respect must be mutual, no matter how violent the disagreement.
Vincent Price
Image
A man who limits his interests limits his life.
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
I sometimes feel that I'm impersonating the dark unconscious of the whole human race. I know this sounds sick, but I love it.
Vincent Price

There's something fascinating about seeing something you don't like at first but directly know you will love—in time. People are that way, all through life. You come against a personality, and it questions yours. You shy away but know there are gratifying secrets there, and the half-open door is often more exciting than the wide.

What's important about an actor is his acting, not his life.
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 don't play monsters. I play men besieged by fate and out for revenge.
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
Image
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.
Vincent Price

Someone called actors 'sculptors in snow.' Very apt. In the end, it's all nothing.

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.

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

I know what I like—I like art—and I like what I know.

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?
