Martin Sheen Messages

While acting is what I do for a living, activism is what I do to stay alive.

Stop going for the easy buck and start producing something with your life. Create, instead of living off the buying and selling of others.

I honestly do not know if civil disobedience has any effect on the government. I can promise you it has a great effect on the person who chooses to do it.

I am still a journeyman actor and a peace and justice activist. I'm a pilgrim trying to win my freedom and serve as best I can in the time I have, with this gift I've been given.

My recovery is the single greatest accomplishment of my life. Without that, the rest of my life would have fallen apart.

I am not the president; instead, I hold an even higher office, that of citizen of the United States.

Theres no way that I could be the president. You cant have a pacifist in the White House... Im an actor. This is what I do for a living.

I don't think that people in America are really given enough information about the Third World.

Well, I think that Catholicism's basic foundation of faith is personal conscience. I think it's between you and God, not you and the Church.

I sincerely believe that everything - everything - is grace, and you have to stick around long enough to see it through. I'm a very optimistic person.
