Biography
I don't know what 'reality TV' means, but unscripted dramas are made on a pretty large scale, with multiple helicopters and a crew of about 400.

What I always thought growing up, which I think a lot of people feel, was that the Bible was like a rule book and - if I stepped left or right - a lightning bolt might hit me. But actually it's a love story. I'm hoping that, while 'Son of God' is an epic movie and a political thriller, it's still got this intimate, personal love story.

When I arrived [in America] a friend of mine had a chauffeur job in Beverly Hills and it seemed like an easy thing, except for there were no jobs. The only position I could get was childcare. I thought I'd do it for two weeks. It was two years later before I moved on from nanny.
