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.

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.

I also do not like the idea of soft money, these issue ads - people don't know where the money is coming from, millions and millions of dollars outside of the control of a candidate - there's no accountability.

Stories come from other shows at other studios where only 2,000 rounds were actually used and the money for the other 3,000 went right into the studio pockets. Corners were cut and that production suffered. Knock wood, that hasn't happened to us.

Never play anything that don't sound right. You might not make any money, but at least you won't get hostile with yourself.

Don't make music for some vast, unseen audience or market or ratings share or even for something as tangible as money. Though it's crucial to make a living, that shouldn't be your inspiration. Do it for yourself.

One does not need buildings, money, power, or status to practice the Art of Peace. Heaven is right where you are standing, and that is the place to train.
