Quote

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.

I'm always writing. There is always a story brewing in my head.
Mel Gibson
Image
There is no excuse, nor should there be any tolerance, for anyone who thinks or expresses any kind of anti-Semitic remark. I want to apologise specifically to everyone in the Jewish community for the vitriolic and harmful words that I said to a law enforcement officer the night I was arrested.
Mel Gibson
Image
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
Image
I don't think the audience always listens to the critics. That's been proven time and time again.
Mel Gibson
Image
I think everything is pretty well preordained - even your mistakes.
Mel Gibson
Image
I'm not apologizing to anyone. I'll apologize when hell freezes over.
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
Image
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.

I love women. They're the best thing ever created. If they want to be like men and come down to our level, that's fine.
Mel Gibson
Image
I rarely lose my temper anymore.
Mel Gibson
Image
I like going in to different styles of acting and exploring stuff I haven't done before.
Mel Gibson
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Time helps a lot. I found the fame thing really was a torment for a while. Then you learn to deal with it.
Mel Gibson
Image
Women in my family are the center of things. All good things emanate from them. The guys usually mess up.
Mel Gibson

Voting is a very scary arena to be in, but I do vote. I go in there and pull the lever. It's kind of like pulling the lever and watching the trap door fall out from beneath you. Why should we trust any of these people? None of them ever deliver on anything. It's always disappointing.

I'm too rich to care what the critics say.
Mel Gibson
Image
I am politically incorrect, that's true. Political correctness to me is just intellectual terrorism. I find that really scary, and I won't be intimidated into changing my mind. Everyone isn't going to love you all the time.
Mel Gibson
Image
It's said that I went into a rant, but I think it went on for about five words. I was drunk. It just turned into a big thing. I apologized profusely - not once but three times. So what's the problem? It's four years ago. Do I need to apologize again?
Mel Gibson
Image
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.
