Charlton Heston quotes - page 2
I have lived my whole life on the stage and screen before you. I found purpose and meaning in your response. For an actor that is no greater loss than the loss of his audience. I can part the Red Sea, but I can't part with you, which is why I won't exclude you from this stage in my life. For now, I'm not changing anything. I will insist on work when I can; the doctors will insist on rest when I must. If you see a little less spring in my step, if your name fails to leap to my lips, you will know why. And if I tell you a funny story for the second time, please laugh anyway.

It's been quite a ride. I loved every minute of it.

You could say that the paparazzi and the tabloids are sort of the "assault weapons" of the First Amendment.

Let me make a short, opening, blanket comment. There are no "good guns."

Charlton Heston
Once we talk to God, once we get his commission to us for our lives we cannot be again content. We are happier. We are busier. But we are not content because then we have a mission - a commission, rather.
Charlton Heston
I've played three presidents, three saints and two geniuses - and that's probably enough for any man.
Charlton Heston
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 This is out of date.
Charlton Heston
Society mends its wounds. And that's invariably true in all the tragedies, in the comedies as well. And certainly in the histories.
Charlton Heston
Let me make a short, opening, blanket comment. There are no "good guns". There are no "bad guns". Any gun in the hands of a bad man is a bad thing. Any gun in the hands of a decent person is no threat to anybody - except bad people.
