Jim Caviezel

“I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles.”

“I also hope that I am occasionally involved in projects that touch other people in ways that make their lives a little better, more interesting for the moment that makes them think.”

“The point I'm trying to make is that you go to church on Sunday. But the real Christ is out there in your life every day, whether it be the guy you help on the street, how you live your life, and your countenance that makes people want to be you.”

“Every day I'm trying to be more humble and how do you do that? I guess, every day, we have mass. Every day, I pray the rosary. That's what I do.”

“What actor wouldn't want to work with Mel Gibson?”

“I didn't want to be an actor.”

“I try to be the best man I can for the day.”

“Mel Gibson doesn't need your judgment, he needs your prayers.”

“A woman in Mexico wanted me to heal her. But I can't heal anybody. I just put my hand on her and said, 'Thank you for seeing the film.'”

“I know I'm not an anti-Semitic person.”

“I know we didn't make an anti-Semitic film. This is what the Gospels are. And it's none of my business what other people think of me.”

“Anything that I undergo, I look at as redemptive suffering.”

“No, the people standing before Christ and Pilate during the judgment scene do not condemn an entire race for the death of Christ anymore than the actions of Mussolini condemn all Italians, or the heinous crimes of Stalin condemn all Russians.”

“I meditate on God's life and I read the scriptures. I read something about Him, go through it and spend a lot of time by myself.”

“I don't really prepare for each role the same way.”

“You know, my point in being an actor is to get people to believe that this is not about me, but something else.”

“I still put my pants on the same way. I still walk on my pool twice a day.”
