Zitat des Tages von Jim Caviezel:
In the world we make good as evil and evil as good.
I don't want people to see me - I want them to see Jesus.
I don't really prepare for each role the same way.
I think you can't be passive in making this film - or in watching it.
I felt unworthy to play Jesus. I just accepted the responsibility and said, 'What actor wouldn't want to play this role?'
I still put my pants on the same way. I still walk on my pool twice a day.
I was freezing in that loincloth.
My faith doesn't go over real well in Hollywood.
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 try to be the best man I can for the day.
I do what I do, and I do it well, and focus and take it one moment at a time.
I married a woman who is much better than me, I'm very fortunate to be with her and I know I'll be happy with her the rest of my life.
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 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.
In my 33rd year, I was called to play Jesus.
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.
I always look for reality. I look for plain truthful roles.
I just try to be the best Catholic.
