They used to say I was a younger Winona Ryder and that always made me laugh because I'm three years older than she is.
Hollywood is a world all its own.
We have a world that is searching for answers, that is searching for a way back to spirituality.
I can cry at the drop of the pin. But comedy is hard for me; it's the timing.
I truly believe that God brought this, Dorothy Day script to me, because for a long time up until I was in eight grade - I wanted to be a nun.
I think to be in politics you have to have the taste for blood on that.
Money's not important to me. Movie star acknowledgement is not important to me. I don't want to be a big studio actress. I don't want to be in the limelight.
I just wanted to be married and to be happy ever after.
I like to go rock scrambling.
I grew up mostly with classical, big band, and a lot of Irish music - I really didn't start listening to rock and roll until I was maybe sixteen.
I'd love to have the opportunity to sing in a Disney movie.
I've been told before, and I tend to believe it, I'm not like most actresses out there.
First of all - I only believe what I see.
Nudity... I have to say I will never do it again.

Now I listen to all kinds of music except rap, which all sounds the same to me.
But what I like to sing mostly is blues and cabaret style.

I went to Marymount College in New York City with a lot of kids whose parents paid their way, and I wouldn't even have thought of asking my parents - they couldn't afford it, not with six kids!
I get a lot of recognition for my voice. That always surprises me.
A few months after graduation I was working in films. It took off pretty quick.
My dream is to eventually open a children's theatre.
