The Great Thing About Films Is That You Have Access To This Whole World Of Experts Who Teach You The Skills Your Character's Supposed To Have.

I'm A Huge Admirer Of Pope Francis And Everything He Stands For. I Think He's An Incredibly Connected Spiritual And Authentic Being.

It All Felt Like A Terribly Long Time. It Would Have Meant That I Had To Make Five Movies In Five Years And If You Don't Like The Movies, Too Bad. I Guess I Just Wanted My Freedom, And I Think My Life Has Been Incredibly Enhanced As A Result.

I Wanted To Say, "hey, Pope Francis," But I Cried Like A Baby. I Was Reduced To A Very Humble Set Of Feelings, Because It Was Not About What Was Said: There's A Presence. That Was A Blessing For Myself And My Family And Everyone There To Be A Part Of That.

So Getting That Balance Between What Is Honoring Scripture And The Word And Also Acknowledging The Fact That By The Virtue Of Putting It On Film There's Going To Be A Variation And Adaptation, I Mean, It's A Fine Dance And A Balance. Our Producers And Directors Have Worked So Hard To Get That Right And I'm Really Proud. I Think It's A Pretty Good Job.
