Karol Quotes

On preparing his role as young Karol Wojtyla for Pope John Paul II (2005) (TV): "I was blessed enough to meet Pope John Paul when I was 22 years old in the Vatican; I had that privilege. My mother took me to visit him, and I remember distinctly his incredible charisma and personal charm and his warmth and compassion. You felt it immediately the minute you met him, and that spirit I came away with, having met the man, is something that I`ve been constantly working on to infuse the character with. My mother is a very devout Catholic. Her criticism will be the one I pay the most attention to."

Twenty-seven years ago I travelled with the then Archbishop of Krakow Cardinal Karol Wojtyla to Rome (where he was elected Pope). I am convinced he will continue to lead me by the hand from on high.
