“They will spot their money behind you. And they will do it to inspire a response from you. '

Erivo, who is Christian, has previously discussed her relationship with faith.

“I am a deep conviction that God makes people as they are meant. The rules for themselves that people impose on others have nothing to do with me and my faith, “said the queer actress Elle in November.

“I can't think limited thinking that some Christians or Catholics have what faith is to influence how huge I think that faith can be. Faith is so big – so much larger than fixed rules, “she went on. “If I love someone, you upset, then we have to concentrate again.”

Eviro also says that she believes she is following faith as long as she follows the most important points of Christianity, which means that they are “friendly to other people, being as good for other people like me would have other people for me.”

“If those are the things I follow, I think I follow my belief,” she told the magazine.
