Well, I think that Catholicism's basic foundation of faith is personal conscience. I think it's between you and God, not you and the Church.
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.

I just think that the only way we come to ourselves is through each other.
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.

Money's only something you need in case you don't die tomorrow.

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.

Jim Dean and Elvis were the spokesmen for an entire generation. When I was in acting school in New York, years ago, there was a saying that if Marlon Brando changed the way people acted, then James Dean changed the way people lived. He was the greatest actor who ever lived. He was simply a genius.

The most satisfying thing in my life and my career is to work with my children.

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.

I think [Bush] would like to hand his father Saddam Hussein's head and win his approval for what happened after the Gulf War.

I think most actors rarely get the opportunity to play something really close to you and speaks to something you deeply believe.
Martin Sheen
Image
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 love my country enough to suffer its wrath.
