Judaism is much more communal, and partly as a consequence of my religious switch, I am increasingly more suspicous of my previous view that what people do in the privacy of their own home is their business alone.

With 'The Mummy' it was a fantasy action adventure. You get taken away for a few hours and come out and feel revamped and ready to go into the world and enjoy your next day at work.

Acting in anger and hatred throughout my life, I frequently precipitated what I feared most, the loss of friendships and the need to rely upon the very people I'd abused.

Everything we do affects other people.

The Seventh Day Adventist Church believes that it was specially chosen by God to prepare the world for the Second Coming of His Son Jesus.

I decided to take God and organized religion seriously, and to reject the secular life which in my teens had looked attractive because it allowed me to act in any way that I wanted.

I believed that English-speaking people had a divine mission to civilize the world by making it western, democratic and Christian.

I did not want to reject religion as nonsense because life seemed to have no ultimate purpose without it, and most of the good people I knew were Christians.

At the time I perceived most religious men, particularly the pastors with all their talk about love, faith and relationship, as effeminate.

At times during high school and college I wished to be a sportswriter.

I learned from my Adventist upbringing that the biggest sins were sexual.

I loved history, particularly of the British, American and Old Testament kind.

I now attend non-orthodox synagogues, and study little during the secular week.

I teethed on books of heroes such as Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln and King David.

I'm not jumping into anything fast. I'm an actor that likes to choose my work and there's an element of good taste to my work.

I've had horror movies thrown at me and I just don't want to do any because violence isn't really good for society.

I've often thought that my lack of intimacy with those around me is the fault of those around me.

In my right-wing politics of the time, I held that unemployment was usually the fault of the unemployed.

Looking back, I wince at the careless way I tossed out my opinions.

My habit of glorifying things far away in space and time, also contributed to my social isolation.
