An audience is going to be able to find a little bit of Dorothy in themselves and relate to this woman.: roles like Dorothy Day are so rare in Hollywood.

Hollywood is a world all its own.

I get a lot of recognition for my voice. That always surprises me.

I just wanted to be married and to be happy ever after.

Now I listen to all kinds of music except rap, which all sounds the same to me.

Nudity... I have to say I will never do it again.

I just want the opportunity to continue to do great films, play great characters and work with great people.

I've been told before, and I tend to believe it, I'm not like most actresses out there.

I find nothing wrong with the naked body.

But what I like to sing mostly is blues and cabaret style.

Children are so creative and imaginative that they just bring you to life all over again.

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.

We have a world that is searching for answers, that is searching for a way back to spirituality.

There are a lot of battles to face, and if I didn't have that religious core - that base to turn to - I would be truly lost.

I don't even own a television. I'm proud of that.

Growing up Catholic has been a gift.

I think to be in politics you have to have the taste for blood on that.

I used to babysit a lot, and I used to be a nanny.

We're not all called to be Dorothy Day.

You know, I like playing around with my voice and trying all different types of kooky voices.

I never had to pound the pavement and really struggle after college.

I'd love to have the opportunity to sing in a Disney movie.

I did everything I could to stay in college and pay my own way, so I think that if success hadn't come so quickly, I would still be pursuing it.

A few months after graduation I was working in films. It took off pretty quick.

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.

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.

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.

My dream is to eventually open a children's theatre.

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!

First of all - I only believe what I see.

I like to go rock scrambling.

I do have the freedom to choose what I want to do and I'll continue to do that.

I did work out every day. I needed it to have the endurance to do what needed to be done and not get hurt. I have such a new respect for action stars now.

I mean the only thing that is hopefully good about us is after the arguments we can actually still face each other the next day or the day after and talk about something else and sort of get over it.

My favorite singer to this day is Nat King Cole. I've tried to emulate his phrasing. It is so absolutely beautiful to listen to his lovely voice.

I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life.

I think I've become a much better singer and a much better player. Years and years of playing a couple of hours every day will do that.

I am tomorrow, or some future day, what I establish today. I am today what I established yesterday or some previous day.

I just wrote one song at a time. Kinda like an alcoholic. One day at a time.

Working mothers do an hour more per day than working fathers do and working mothers do on average an hour more per day with the kids than working fathers do.

When it is time to get to work, I go away completely and don't do anything except the work. And that can be 16 hours a day.

George Pal had total control, and he was there on the set every day. You never met a more charming man in your entire lifetime - what a lovely gentleman.

I'll tell you what I did need to learn was tolerance, and I think I've been actually given a daily opportunity to practice that, and it's - it's - and I know that that sounds almost like a backhanded slap, and it is in a way because I haven't been successful at it every day.

Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted.

Depending on what day of the week it is and what time of the month it is, I'm a good friend or not a good friend. I'm more or less a good mom or not a good mom, more or less a good mate or not a good mate. That's just life, whether or not you're public.

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.

A play is much easier to maintain your personal life with because if you're rehearsing, you're working like from 11 to 6 or 11 to 5 and you get to have your whole morning and your whole evening. When you're doing the play, you have all day.
