Robert Halmi Sr
“Charlton Heston admitted he had a drinking problem, and I said to myself, "Thank God this guy doesn't own any guns!"”
David Letterman
“I don't care. Charlton Heston is the head of the National Rifle Association. He deserves whatever anyone says about him.”
George Clooney
“During the (National Rifle Association) convention, Charlton Heston held a musket over his head and declared, 'From my cold dead hands,'”
Troy Brown
“I've always had the greatest respect for Chuck Heston. He's not only a very fine actor, he's a very good human being.”
Clint Walker
“What was unusual about the way we did this version of 'The Ten Commandments' was we treated Moses like he was a lunatic. If somebody came and told you today, 'I've just been talking to a burning bush,' you would try and have him put into a hospital, wouldn't you?”
Naveen Andrews
“No one asks you to throw Mozart out of the window. Keep Mozart. Cherish him. Keep Moses too, and Buddha and Lao Tzu and Christ. Keep them in your heart. But make room for the others, the coming ones, the ones who are already scratching on the window-panes.”
Henry Miller
