I think service to others is the real key to winning our own personal freedom and the road to our own happiness, our own personal contentment and fulfillment.

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.

I think I'm known as a liberal democrat and Hispanic and a practicing Catholic, but I never really went out of my way specifically to play a president or any kind of leader.

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

We are the generation that brought the bomb in. We have got to be the generation that should take it out.

I never lost my faith...But like all modern Catholics, I felt for a time that I had outgrown the church. Now it is a bone of contention in my soul that I did not share my faith with my kids, as my parents did with me. It was a source of grace when I needed it. I have been greatly nurtured and inspired by my faith.

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