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.

No matter what is going on, everything is grace.

Image
My recovery is the single greatest accomplishment of my life. Without that, the rest of my life would have fallen apart.
Martin Sheen
Image
This supposed idyllic society we have is the most confused, warped, addicted society in the history of the world. We are addicted to power, we're addicted to our own image of ourselves, to violence, divorce, abortion, and sex.

There is no greater virtue than honesty.
Martin Sheen
Image
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.

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.

I am not a politician or a public servant. 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.

I don't think that people in America are really given enough information about the Third World.

While acting is what I do for a living, activism is what I do to stay alive.

Image
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
Image
It doesn't really matter how much of the rules or the dogma we accepted and lived by if we're not really living by the fundamental creed of the Catholic Church, which is service to others and finding God in ourselves and then seeing God in everyone - including our enemies.
Martin Sheen
Image
I just think that the only way we come to ourselves is through each other.
Martin Sheen
Image
I never lost my faith...But like all modern Catholics, I felt for a time that I had outgrown the church. Now it is a bone of contention in my soul that I did not share my faith with my kids, as my parents did with me. It was a source of grace when I needed it. I have been greatly nurtured and inspired by my faith.
