Martin Sheen Quotes:
  • "Don't invade Iraq. Inspections work, war won't."
  • "George W Bush is like a bad comic working the crowd, a moron, if you'll pardon the expression."
  • "I think [Bush] would like to hand his father Saddam Hussein's head and win his approval for what happened after the Gulf War."
  • "I think he [President Clinton] was probably the brightest President of the 20th century."
  • "Life is difficult and it's supposed to be," the acting veteran says.
  • "It's quite natural for life to be difficult and once you understand that that's life and it's difficult, it's not difficult anymore, it's life. It's a mystery to be explored, and not a problem to be solved."
  • "I was just thinking about the miracles of the past year. Every day should be spent in thanks and praise,"
  • "If I didn't get another miracle the rest of my life, I couldn't complain. I've been the most blessed, the most blessed, man. I don't even know of anyone as blessed as we have been. We have been, in just one year's time, from despair to freedom. Just extraordinary."
  • You may have mistaken this for your meeting of the ignorant tight-asses club but in this building, when the President stands, nobody sits.
  • "I'm one of those cliff-hanging Catholics. I don't believe in God, but I do believe that Mary was his mother."
