More quotes by Martin Sheen
I am not the president instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.
Martin Sheen
The Irish tell the story of a man who arrives at the gates of heaven and asks to be let in St. Peter says, “Of course, just show us your scars.” The man says, “I have no scars”. St. Peter says, “What a pity was there nothing worth fighting for”?
Martin Sheen
George W Bush is like a bad comic working the crowd, a moron, if youll pardon the expression.
Martin Sheen
Stop going for the easy buck and start producing something with your life. Create, instead of living off the buying and selling of others.
Martin Sheen
Money's only something you need in case you don't die tomorrow.
Martin Sheen
We have to fight for something. It has to cost us. Our lives, our faith, have to cost us something otherwise we're left to question its value.
Martin Sheen
I was a celebrity. This is not what I do for a living - politics. I play politicians, as well as working class or clergy or whatever, and you mustn't be confused by what you're seeing on television because that's not who I am. So I always ended it.
Martin Sheen
I honestly do not know if civil disobedience has any effect on the government. I can promise you it has a great effect on the person who chooses to do it.
Martin Sheen
I don't like scary films. I watched Psycho for the first time recently, alone in the house at night. That was a mistake. I had to call my friend to come over.
Martin Sheen
I just think that the only way we come to ourselves is through each other.
Martin Sheen
I think service to others is the real key to winning our own personal freedom and the road to our own happiness, our own personal contentment and fulfillment.
Martin Sheen
Those years on the golf course as a caddie, boy, those people were something. They were vulgar, some were alcoholics, racist, they were very difficult people to deal with. A lot of them didn't have a sense of humor.
Martin Sheen
Golf is fundamentally about being honest. I see people hit eight shots and tell me they shot five. I never say a word. It is a reminder to me of what is at stake.
Martin Sheen
I'm one of those cliff-hanging Catholics. I don't believe in God, but I do believe that Mary was his mother.
Martin Sheen
While acting is what I do for a living, activism is what I do to stay alive.
Martin Sheen
I don't think that people in America are really given enough information about the Third World.
Martin Sheen
I think [Bush] would like to hand his father Saddam Hussein's head and win his approval for what happened after the Gulf War.
Martin Sheen
I think most actors rarely get the opportunity to play something really close to you and speaks to something you deeply believe.
Martin Sheen
My first civil disobedience arrest for social justice was in 1986 for protesting the SDI.
Martin Sheen
I am still a journeyman actor and a peace and justice activist. I'm a pilgrim trying to win my freedom and serve as best I can in the time I have, with this gift I've been given.
