I never really had a consciousness about what I wanted to do. And I knew — and I think all children know at a very, very young age something about themselves, deeply personal, that is almost impossible to communicate with any understanding to anyone else. But I had this as well, and I started going to movies, I guess, I was around five or six, and gradually it dawned on me that I was like one of those people I was looking at on the screen. And it was a revelation, and it was a great sense of peace overcame me as a child, because I knew that it was possible that I could do that. In fact, it was more than that I could do that. It was that I was that already.

-Martin Sheen, Interview with Krista Tippett
