One of the great things about acting is you can do things that in real life would get you in trouble. I think that's something I figured out pretty early on.

I've known a lot of religious people. My mother is very religious, but she also is very private about it. When I was growing up, she never went to church. She just prayed and read her Bible and kept it to herself. I'm not from a background of flamboyant believers. It's much more a personal issue.

If you give me enough time, enough leash, I can become pretty reasonable.
