00:03I was intrigued and interested, I've never delved into it, into exorcism, but I've never played, I don't think I've
00:12ever played a priest before, but when I was talking to Michael Hofstrom I said I'd like to give him
00:18another dimension of a man who is himself going through grave doubts and crisis in his life.
00:25There's a scene in the film where I, they cut it out actually, it wasn't because it was unnecessary with
00:30the film, but there's a scene in a little bit of information where I say to the young priest at
00:35the beginning of the film, I said when my mother died, I was a young man, I was very angry
00:38at God and I gave it up, I said here I am in Rome, so much for, all dressed up
00:44for the carnival, which they've kept in the final exorcism scene, the destiny brought me there.
00:51I, I, I, I, so I, there's a scene where I say, you know, I, there are times when I
01:00really don't know whether I believe in God, Santa Claus or Tigabel, but I keep going and in the darkness
01:07I feel God's fingernails scratching around inside me until I'm cast out from the darkness back into the light, ex
01:13-humbrusad luchum, or something like that, I say, just to throw it away.
01:19And that's what I wanted to do, a man who would never preach at the young priest, you've got to
01:24believe, he said, well if you don't believe that's up to you, but I do believe, and that's my life,
01:30you know, I don't preach anywhere, I believe, I, I believe what I believe, and I never get in people's
01:38way, if an atheist wants to challenge me, I say, well good, okay, give me a better shot, I won't
01:43argue, what's the point of arguing?
01:45All I know is that I, I, I'm glad I have an open window in my soul, I don't want
01:50to be living in a closed grey room like Jean-Paul Sartre, we clonize it, um, great, brighter than he
01:57was, er, but no, I'd rather live, in doubt, I'd rather live with uncertainty, which, we have no choice, er,
02:05nothing is certain, everything is uncertain.
