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

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 also hope that I am occasionally involved in projects that touch other people in ways that make their lives a little better, more interesting for the moment that makes them think.

Everyone was thinking it was going to be a bust. I felt redeemed.

I just try to be the best Catholic.

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.

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.'

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

My faith doesn't go over real well in Hollywood.

Conversion is a daily thing.

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

Anything that I undergo, I look at as redemptive suffering.

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.

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

I felt unworthy to play Jesus. I just accepted the responsibility and said, 'What actor wouldn't want to play this role?'

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 always believed in God, I would go to mass most of the time, but I had no idea of the calling to holiness.

Christ died for the truth.

I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles.
