Urghiggi says:
What I THINK she said was something along the lines of "I don't want to talk 
too much about my religious beliefs because then it would be too easy for 
people to figure out where the books are going." She did not mention 
Christianity per se, either in re her own beliefs or people's ability to see where 
she's going.

I have read this interview -- I think it was with a Canadian media provider -- 
but I'll be danged if I can find it now. A search on Quick Quotes using terms 
like "religion," "god," and "figure out" do not turn it up. Anybody have a link?
