Emma Watson, an actress who appeared in the Harry Potter series, and who is starring in Darren Aronofsky’s new Biblical movie “Noah,” as Noah’s adopted daughter, spoke to the press recently about her own spirituality and beliefs while promoting the movie.

“I already had the sense that I was someone who was more spiritual than specifically religious,” she told the Associated Press in an interview. “I had a sense that I believed in a higher power, but that I was more of a Universalist. I see there are these unifying tenets between so many religions, and I’m really interested in those things that are more far-reaching than culture, nationality, race or religion.”
