If I've still got my pants on in the second scene, I think they've sent me the wrong script.
From 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.
Well, I think any time you delve into this sort of religion, politics, as you well know, you're going to, you know, touch a few nerves. I wasn't - now - and this is the honest truth.
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.
It's all happening too fast. I've got to put the brakes on or I'll smack into something.
Writing is a hard gig, and it's hard to convey a lot. That's why scripts tend to be a little bit overwritten.
I'm pretty fit, naturally. I do moderate exercise, and I try to eat pretty well and I think it has an effect on me. But hey, I'm putting on the insulin tire like everybody else, but that's just a function of getting older.
Theatrical is fantastic. I don't think anything will ever replace the big dark room, the screen and the popcorn. You can kind of do it in your home if you have a nice screen, but it's not the same thing.
It's amazing how powerful a piece of work can be and how it can influence people and change. It's pretty interesting.
I've never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality - period.
