I think you can't be passive in making this film - or in watching it.
Everyone was thinking it was going to be a bust. I felt redeemed.
Our whole world is entrenched in sin. There in the quiet of our hearts a woman is calling us, each one of us, back to her Son. Jesus is there for us in the Scriptures. How often do we ignore Him? We must shake off this indifference. Only the Faith and the wisdom of the Church can save us, but it requires men and women, warriors ready to risk their good names, even their very lives to stand up for the truth.
You weren't made to fit in. You were born to stand out!
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 don't want people to see me - I want them to see Jesus.
I know I'm not an anti-Semitic person.
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.
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.
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 my 33rd year, I was called to play Jesus.
Mel Gibson doesn't need your judgment, he needs your prayers.
