You've gotta be very careful that grace and politeness do not merge into a banality of behavior, where we're just nice, sort of 'death by cupcake.'
I play Hopkins' daughter. Brad Pitt plays Death. He's a very-good looking Death. With him, dying isn't so bad.

I consider myself a religious person. God is something very personal with me and I don't flaunt religion in conversation with others.
Baptists are very strong believers that the civil magistrate is ordained by God to punish those who do evil.
One must be very particular about telling the truth. Through truth one can realize God.
The very contradictions in my life are in some ways signs of God's mercy to me.
