I was freezing in that loincloth.

I'm a craftsman. I'm an actor.

In the world we make good as evil and evil as good.

It's very hard to accept that stoning still exists in the world today.

Mel Gibson doesn't need your judgment, he needs your prayers.

We all have a cross to carry. I have to carry my own cross. If we don't carry our crosses, we are going to be crushed under the weight of it.

We are all culpable in the death of Christ. My sins, your sins put Him on that cross.

What actor wouldn't want to work with Mel Gibson?

Working with Mel Gibson is a little like waltzing with a hurricane. It's always exciting, and you're never quite sure where it's going to take you.

You know, my point in being an actor is to get people to believe that this is not about me, but something else.

No, the people standing before Christ and Pilate during the judgment scene do not condemn an entire race for the death of Christ anymore than the actions of Mussolini condemn all Italians, or the heinous crimes of Stalin condemn all Russians.

The point I'm trying to make is that you go to church on Sunday. But the real Christ is out there in your life every day, whether it be the guy you help on the street, how you live your life, and your countenance that makes people want to be you.

I don't want people to see me - I want them to see Jesus.

I do what I do, and I do it well, and focus and take it one moment at a time.

I meditate on God's life and I read the scriptures. I read something about Him, go through it and spend a lot of time by myself.

I try to be the best man I can for the day.

I just try to be the best Catholic.

I married a woman who is much better than me, I'm very fortunate to be with her and I know I'll be happy with her the rest of my life.

I still put my pants on the same way. I still walk on my pool twice a day.

In my 33rd year, I was called to play Jesus.
