'Seinfeld' star Michael Richards 'found faith' during self-imposed hiatus following racist rant

Michael Richards revealed he "found faith" during his self-imposed exile from Hollywood during an interview with Fox News Digital. The "Seinfeld" star chose to "cancel himself" in 2006.

Richards chose to "cancel himself" at the time. "I took myself out," he wrote in his new memoir, "Entrances and Exits," which was released June 4. During his time away from Hollywood, Richards worked on himself, so he could understand what led to the angry moment.

"I found faith along the way," Richards told Fox News Digital. "Faith in creation and how marvelous this system is set up to — well, it's rather merciful in that it allows us to reflect upon our wrongs and move on to get to a better place in oneself, to improve. The state of improvement. I'm fascinated by that. We as human beings can learn from our mistakes."
