It's very hard to accept that stoning still exists in the world today.
Every day I'm trying to be more humble and how do you do that? I guess, every day, we have mass. Every day, I pray the rosary. That's what I do.
Conversion is a daily thing.
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.'
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 didn't want to be an actor.
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.
In the world we make good as evil and evil as good.
In my 33rd year, I was called to play Jesus.
Mel Gibson doesn't need your judgment, he needs your prayers.
I felt unworthy to play Jesus. I just accepted the responsibility and said, 'What actor wouldn't want to play this role?'
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.
I'm a film rat. I love being in front of a camera. I love being behind a camera. I love talking to the director. I love talking film.
I really enjoy talking to actors or filmmakers that enjoy that process of creating and how they go about doing it.
