"I still put my pants on the same way. I still walk on my pool twice a day"
About this Quote
The subtext is a quiet contempt for the audience’s demand that fame come with performative modesty. Caviezel seems to be saying: you want relatable? Fine. But I’m also going to remind you that my life is fundamentally unreal, and maybe even supernaturally so. It’s a punchline that doubles as brand management. Coming from an actor closely associated with religious iconography (notably playing Jesus), “walk on my pool” reads like a wink to that cultural baggage. It’s self-mythologizing disguised as self-deprecation.
Context matters: this is the era when celebrities are expected to be simultaneously aspirational and “authentic,” a contradiction that turns every interview into a credibility test. Caviezel slips the test on purpose. The line works because it exposes the whole ritual: the fake humility, the audience’s complicity, and the pleasure of watching someone admit - with comic timing - that the distance between “just like you” and “not even close” is the entire point.
