You weren’t made to fit in. You were born to stand out!
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.
When you live in holiness, when you really try to stop sinning, you become braver. You become more courageous, you become a man of your word. You become a man of conviction that you’re not willing to sell out and you’re really a true knight in shining armour.

Often times the best military leaders were soldiers.
Anything that I undergo, I look at as redemptive suffering.
I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles.
I still put my pants on the same way. I still walk on my pool twice a day.
I do what I do, and I do it well, and focus and take it one moment at a time.
I don’t want people to see me – I want them to see Jesus.
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.
I came from a town of maybe 30,000 people.
I know I’m not an anti-Semitic person.
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.
Mel Gibson doesn’t need your judgment, he needs your prayers.
In my 33rd year, I was called to play Jesus.
Faith to me it’s believe without seeing, it’s how you live your life, how you are authentic.
