I walked away from acting for eight years and tried to make the choice that I should have made when I was 21. But, it doesn't make any difference. Nothing changed. You can't put the toothpaste back in the tube.

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
Acting is like lying. The art of lying well. I'm paid to tell elaborate lies.
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.
Mel Gibson
I just don't do anything fun anymore. But, that's dying, isn't it? I mean, you die in stages, right? You let things go in pieces.
Mel Gibson
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
What are you looking at sugar-tits?
Mel Gibson
I don't care if I don't act anymore.
Mel Gibson
People like scary stories. There's a fascination with fear themes, and we want to face those things in a weird, subconscious way.
Mel Gibson
Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live…at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willing' to trade all the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take…OUR FREEDOM?!
Mel Gibson
I'm too rich to care what the critics say.
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
One should not worry about the future, particularly if it hasn't happened yet.
Mel Gibson
Well, if you look at the whole story, I mean there's only Jews and Romans in the story. I mean I just wanted to flesh that character out and make that a drama about the people around Christ when he was going through this passion.
Mel Gibson
I think any kind of hiatus one takes in an artistic journey is going to make a huge difference. The pause will inform the choices that you make.
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
Feminists don't like me, and I don't like them.
Mel Gibson
It freshens your breath and helps prevent tartar.
Mel Gibson
You know what happens when you don't take a risk? Nothing.
Mel Gibson
Time helps a lot. I found the fame thing really was a torment for a while. Then you learn to deal with it.
