Writing is a hard gig, and it's hard to convey a lot. That's why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten.

More quotes by Mel Gibson
I'm not much of a conformist.
Mel Gibson
I'm not a preacher and I'm not a pastor. But I really feel my career was leading me to make this. The Holy Ghost was working through me on this film, and I was just directing traffic. I hope the film has the power to evangelize.
Mel Gibson
Life is life, and one has experiences that are painful and some that are very pleasant, and one has reward and sacrifice and more reward and disappointment and joy and happiness, and it's always going to be the same.
Mel Gibson
The really good thing about using people who are really green is that you don't have to erase a bunch of bad habits and then put good ones in. You can just start feeding them good habits.
Mel Gibson
I think everything is pretty well preordained - even your mistakes.
Mel Gibson
I do what I can to sort of just stave off the clock - walk, swim, try and smoke an electric cigarette. I mean it's all bad for you. Life is bad. We're all dying. We're all in the process of oxidizing. Everyone of us is in the process of oxidizing so to sort of interrupt one aspect of that while everything else goes on, it's a freak show.

If you just read Joseph Campbell, who has written amazing books on mythology and religion, they all do come together at some point. There are some of the greatest stories that there have ever been in the Bible. All you have to do is read the book of Maccabi, it's like a film script.
Mel Gibson
I rarely lose my temper anymore.
Mel Gibson
I get pretty dark sometimes, pretty bleak. But that passes.
Mel Gibson
Scotland is a great nation, but its horses are very uncomfortable.
Mel Gibson
There are certain things men will never understand about women. We'll never get it. And you're supposed to be nice to them. Because they can hurt you.
Mel Gibson
After about 20 years of marriage, I'm finally starting to scratch the surface of what women want. And I think the answer lies somewhere between conversation and chocolate.
Mel Gibson
I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.
Mel Gibson
Nobody makes art for an elite, not if they're a real artist. You try and reach as many people as possible with whatever it is that you make. If a chef is making an omelette, he wants everyone to think that it tastes great because he did it. And if it does, then that's a success because everyone eats it.
Mel Gibson
I'm Hitler and my dad is Mussolini!
Mel Gibson
My family means more to me than the artificial trappings of my career. If ever I had to choose between my career and my family, the wife and kids would definitely come out on top.
Mel Gibson
I'm not apologizing to anyone. I'll apologize when hell freezes over.
Mel Gibson
My hope is that this movie will affect people on a very profound level and reach them with a message of faith, hope, love and forgiveness.
Mel Gibson
Acting is like lying. The art of lying well. I'm paid to tell elaborate lies.
Mel Gibson
That's like asking you to pick your favorite child... I do however, think Bird on a Wire was one of my finest works. Oscar caliber.
