“In the UK, which is what I know because it's where I grew up, it's more of a parochial thing that's going on there. It's not so politicized. It doesn't have the same power or resonance that it has over here. I would say that I'm Christian, but I wouldn't say that I'm particularly religious in any way. I think that the people that I met on the movie, and they were real born, again Christians, seemed very sorted, as if God had dropped in their laps and suddenly everything was fine. I don't know what I feel about that.”
