Charlton Heston quotes about
art raw-materials film
Film is the only art form whose raw materials are so horrendously expensive that the artist cannot afford to buy them for himself.
art business trouble
The trouble with movies as a business is that it's an art, and the trouble with movies as art is that it's a business.
artist pals stuff
And their pals vote for their stuff when they're not on the panel, and it just keeps going that way. And they tend to be very fringe artists, so anything before the 20th century is not worth considering. This is out of date.
art example film
Undeniably the American art form, too. And yet more and more, we see films made that diminish the American experience and example. And sometimes trash it completely.
men thinking artist
I used to think if it wasn't possible to be a family man and a totally dedicated artist, I'd rather be the former. I'm an idealist and a romantic.
art government views
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.
summer art thinking
I am very proud of the fact that I led the arts contingent on the civil rights march in the summer of '63. In many ways, I think it was the high-water mark of the civil rights movement.
thinking alcohol our-society
I think narcotics and alcohol, and even tobacco are enormously costly ingredients in our society.
thinking rocks rock-music
I don't think rock music has any positive function.
thinking people president
We don't think well of our presidents when they are serving. Even Kennedy, with such a short presidency, was beginning to lose his remarkable appeal to the American people when he was suddenly sainted by death.
people four efficiency
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.
eye thinking views
You have to be very careful to view yourself with a somewhat skeptical eye and to remember that you're not here taking down everything I'm saying because you think I'm such a marvelous fellow but because your editors say go get 1,200 words or whatever on Chuck Heston.
pistols kind used
I've used too many pistols in too many movies. They're kind of heavy to carry...
sex mechanic engaged
The physical mechanics of sex are pretty funny unless you are engaged in them. Then they are, of course, marvelous.
