"It's a beautiful religion and I wish I understood it more. No, I don't want to understand it all. It's beautiful because it's always a mystery. Sometimes I say I don't believe in God and Jesus and Mary. I'm a bad Catholic because I miss mass once in a while and I grumble when, at confession, I get a heavy penance for something I couldn't help doing.

But I'm glad it turned out that I'm both these things."

"There have been times when I've been asked to do things and I've thought, "This is great! This is a great script. But, I do not believe myself in this role."
