“Nothing ever gets done unless it's done by a fanatic.”
2000s, AARP magazine interview (2008)
Contesto: When a life is at stake and it's your child, you become fearless in a lot of ways. I mean, you jut become fanatic. Nothing ever gets done unless it's done by a fanatic.
2000s, Progressive magazine interview (2003)
Contesto: Once you follow a path of nonviolence and social justice, it won't take you long before you come into conflict with the culture, with the society. You can't know what is at stake or how much it is going to cost you until you get in the game. That's the only way, and the level of cost is equal to the level of involvement.
2000s, Progressive magazine interview (2003)
Contesto: This supposed idyllic society we have is the most confused, warped, addicted society in the history of the world. We are addicted to power, we're addicted to our own image of ourselves, to violence, divorce, abortion, and sex. Any whim of the human character is deeded in us 100-fold. We're number one in child abuse, pornography, divorce, all of these categories; that's how we get paid back. You can't project something on someone else that is damaging that person and not become that yourself, it seems to me.
2000s, Progressive magazine interview (2003)
Contesto: I have been accused of being a traitor, and I have been accused of not supporting the military. Nothing could be further from the truth. The leaders are the ones who make the decisions. The soldiers do not have the choice. I support the soldiers as human beings. This Administration has led us into an area without vision. Bush has no clear understanding of what is being asked of the citizens, and the military is under his direction.
“I don't anticipate success. We're not asked to be successful, we are only asked to be faithful.”
2000s, Progressive magazine interview (2003)
Contesto: If all of the issues that I have worked on were depending on some measure of success, it would be a total failure. I don't anticipate success. We're not asked to be successful, we are only asked to be faithful. I couldn't even tell you what success is.
On nonviolent civil disobedience
2000s, Progressive magazine interview (2003)
Contesto: It is one of the only tools that is available to us where you can express a deeply personal, deeply moral opinion and be held accountable. You have to be prepared for the consequences. 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 do it because I can't seem to live with myself if I do not. I don't know any other way to be.”
On his activism in social justice and peace issues.
2000s, Progressive magazine interview (2003)
Contesto: I do it because I can't seem to live with myself if I do not. I don't know any other way to be. It isn't something you can explain; it is just something that you do; it is something that you are.
2000s, Progressive magazine interview (2003)
Contesto: I am not a politician or a public servant. 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.
“I learned I had to stand for something so I could stand to be me.”
2000s, Progressive magazine interview (2003)
“I love being Spanish as much as I love being Irish, and I really love being Irish.”
1990s, Inside the Actors Studio (1994)
“My only regret about having four children is that I didn't have four more.”
1990s, Inside the Actors Studio (1994)
