Charlton Heston quotes about
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.
gun guarantees-that people
The First Amendment is crucial. Of course it is. So are all the others. And the Second Amendment is the one that guarantees that people can bear arms to protect themselves.
lonely people internet
The Internet is for lonely people. People should live.
gun assault-weapons people
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.
difference fought freer good people
I think we make a difference together. We are a freer people than if we hadn't fought this good fight,
thinking alcohol our-society
I think narcotics and alcohol, and even tobacco are enormously costly ingredients in our society.
television facts mediums
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.
powerful successful political
Lenin in 1921 observed very presciently that motion pictures were the most powerful tool ever invented to shape the way we thought. He was right. Political films can be successful.
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 motivation film
The prime motivation in making almost any film is success, because film is the art form of the 20th century.
sex thinking tolerance
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.
thinking rocks rock-music
I don't think rock music has any positive function.
kids hands play
I've been a public person for most of my life. It has advantages and disadvantages. I can't take my kids to Disneyland. On the other hand, I can get a table at a restaurant or tickets to a play.
