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.

More quotes by Martin Sheen
Anybody who plays golf will tell you that you play against yourself.
Martin Sheen
I am a very conscientious golfer. I count every stroke. I learned to play that way. That is the only way I can play. It taught me to be honest. There is no greater virtue than honesty.
Martin Sheen
If all of the issues that I have worked on were depending on some measure of success, it would be a total failure. I don't anticipate success. We're not asked to be successful, we are only asked to be faithful. I couldn't even tell you what success is.
Martin Sheen
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
We never get over our fathers, and we’re not required to. (Irish Proverb)
Martin Sheen
George W Bush is like a bad comic working the crowd, a moron, if youll pardon the expression.
Martin Sheen
I am not the president instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.
Martin Sheen
I think the Church is a conduit to God. The Church is not God. And I think that from the very beginning Jesus taught us that.
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 have been accused of being a traitor, and I have been accused of not supporting the military. Nothing could be further from the truth. The leaders are the ones who make the decisions. The soldiers do not have the choice. I support the soldiers as human beings.
Martin Sheen
My first civil disobedience arrest for social justice was in 1986 for protesting the SDI.
Martin Sheen
Oh you only fight the fights you can win? You fight the fights that need fighting!
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
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
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.
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 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.
Martin Sheen
I love my country enough to suffer its wrath.
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.
Martin Sheen
While acting is what I do for a living, activism is what I do to stay alive.
Martin Sheen
