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

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.

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.

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

Fortunately, I happened to go east at a time when live television was centered in New York.

I'm not up on today's television for children, because it's mostly cartoons that don't seem to interest me.

The young people look great on television. They're youthful and have a lot of zip and energy, but when you see them live, they can only do about 20 minutes because they haven't got the training to hold an audience for an hour and a half or so.

At the University of Maryland, my first year I started off planning to major in art because I was interested in theatre design, stage design or television design.

It's about the power of design and the power of the human spirit. It's above paying anybody to do something stupid for money like reality television does - like ambushing people.

Baseball hasn't been the national pastime for many years now - no sport is. The national pastime, like it or not, is watching television.

Networks decide who will have a chance to do shows, but it is the viewers who make the final decision of who stays and who goes. I am very fortunate, in that the television viewers of our country have decided that Bob Barker can stay.

Twin Peaks was special because it was so groundbreaking. In the early '90s it really changed television a lot. A bunch of weird shows, like Northern Exposure, came on after that.

We're just dealing with the kind of warp and woof of television ratings.

I did I Love My Wife on Broadway in 1978, and then went into television land. Now things are starting to come together in the way I thought they might when I was a kid.

I think what we need is a more welcoming mode from the people who put on a hundred million country-western shows on television. How about a monthly jazz show?

Television is a device that permits people who haven't anything to do to watch people who can't do anything.

I've directed a fair amount of television series - so I'm always trying to learn new things. One episode was all hand-held and I'm trying to get better at when you should do things and when you should just shut up and watch what the people are saying.

Television's Mr. Filth: that's me.

I'd really been wanting to do a television series. I was looking for a comedy.
