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.
I try to be the best man I can for the day.
I do what I do, and I do it well, and focus and take it one moment at a time.
I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles.
I felt unworthy to play Jesus. I just accepted the responsibility and said, 'What actor wouldn't want to play this role?'
I always believed in God, I would go to mass most of the time, but I had no idea of the calling to holiness.
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.
Christ died for the truth.
We are all culpable in the death of Christ. My sins, your sins put Him on that cross.
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 don't want people to see me - I want them to see Jesus.
My faith doesn't go over real well in Hollywood.
I know we didn't make an anti-Semitic film. This is what the Gospels are. And it's none of my business what other people think of me.
Everyone was thinking it was going to be a bust. I felt redeemed.
I still put my pants on the same way. I still walk on my pool twice a day.
A woman in Mexico wanted me to heal her. But I can't heal anybody. I just put my hand on her and said, 'Thank you for seeing the film.'
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.
I was freezing in that loincloth.
I don't really prepare for each role the same way.
I didn't want to be an actor.
