If you look good and you talk well, people will believe anything

Dialogue from the movie "Ed Wood" with Johnny Depp as Ed Wood, Jeffrey Jones as Criswell the psychic.

Edward D. Wood, Jr.: Hey Cris, how'd you know we'd be living on Mars by 1970?

Criswell: I guessed. I made it up.

[Leans over to Ed]
Criswell: It's horseshit.

Edward D. Wood, Jr.: [Ed looks very crestfallen] Really...

Criswell: Eddie, there's no such thing as a psychic. People believe my folderol because I wear a black tuxedo.

Edward D. Wood, Jr.: [Still looking disappointed, but perking up] It's that easy?

Criswell: Eddie, we're in show biz. It's all about razzle-dazzle. Appearances. If you look good and you talk well, people will believe anything.
