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.

Oh you only fight the fights you can win? You fight the fights that need fighting!

I love The West Wing for many reasons. The show has been a fantasy. But we have offered a parallel universe to reality.

I love my country enough to suffer its wrath.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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

I just think that the only way we come to ourselves is through each other.

No matter what is going on, everything is grace.

Nothing ever gets done unless it's done by a fanatic.

People, although having their own cross to carry, can minister to others through their own pain.

Anybody who plays golf will tell you that you play against yourself.

If you are on an honest journey to find yourself, you'll find God.
