I always wanted to be on a sitcom.

I remember going to church about four times a week. I liked it a lot.

Sometimes I like to vent.

But if you believe in Christ and that your main goal with your life is supposed to be to honor Him and do His will, then you don't have as much pressure as someone who bases all their happiness on whether they're a movie star.

Maybe I'll learn how, but the only thing I can do is turn down parts that would hurt my conscience.

Because I hate fake people and I always think I'm never fake.

So finally I came up with a thing that felt really pure, and I'm Christian, so when I hear about death I have a lot of hope because I believe in Jesus and life after death, and John 3:16.

That's pretty much why I went into show business because I wanted to have a guitar and sing unaccompanied, that was like my fantasy of the perfect life.

They're desperately searching for meaning in their lives but they will not crack the Bible open.

I cried when I heard Johnny Carson died.

There was a lot of Southern Baptist preachers and some yelling ones but mostly we had a pastor who didn't scream and I found a lot of comfort and joy and peace as a child hearing the Bible.

When you go on an audition it's very frightening.

I always dreamed of being Maria in The Sound of Music.

Now, I don't mind making fun of those preachers who steal money from people, they kind of deserve it.

I think the reason they cast me as the good girls is because they couldn't find any in Hollywood.

I wasn't really qualified to be on Saturday Night Live - I'm not like an impressionist or anything.

Maybe entertainment is not supposed to be reality.

I've never been in the music industry, only acting.

Religion is man's attempt to bind himself back to a relationship with God.

It was the best job I ever had. I just left because my whole team was leaving and the new guys were coming.

The bottom line of Hollywood is money.

Are Christians too stupid that we can't write a script, we can't film a movie OR we don't know how to act?

Maybe if I could ever be a successful comedian then I could be an example that Christians can also have fun.

It doesn't make your life stop being fun to be a Christian.

I think abortion is murder.

I thought it was a really good contrast to have a really sweet, sincere, church girl sitting next to the church lady who seemed kind of, you know, over the top.

Movies are nice, but there are very few roles for women and most of them are sluts or something.

I always wanted to be on a sitcom.

I got a gymnastics scholarship to college, fell in love with my true love of my whole life - who I'm married to now - and he was a virgin too. It was very romantic.

I was the only Christian on the cast, but that was cool because we all respected each others talent and mostly they respected me a lot even though I was the only Christian.

I've had a lot of struggles and I would be in a lot of trouble, I think, if I wasn't a Christian.

I stayed a virgin until I was 23. I didn't do drugs or drink or smoke.

Perhaps the strongest evidence that women have as broad and deep a capacity for physical aggression as men is anecdotal. And as with men, this capacity has expressed itself in acts from the brave to the brutal, the selfless to the senseless.

I assume you know what to do with this. That's why you were hired.

Practically everyone is going to have a general purpose computer in their pocket, it's so easy to underestimate that, that has got to be the really, really big one.

There is no such thing as perfect security, only varying levels of insecurity.

I still take photographs for my own use, personal studies. I do not feel that I can fully express my views through the medium and this is why I have moved towards painting.

As long as your intentions are solid and about growth and progression and being productive and not being idle, then you're doing good in my book.

Quilliam will remain a priority for me because its values shape my beliefs and outlook.

I have no desire to write fiction. I did what I did, and it's done. There's more to life than writing and publishing fiction. There is another way entirely, amazed as I am to discover it at this late date.

I always look for the writers and what they're creating. If it's something I don't buy, it's really hard for me to play it. To me, it has to be grounded in some sort of reality. It's really hard to go to these extreme places if they're not grounded.

There certainly is no secret in that there are plenty of people who don't like plenty of my movies. Each one of my films is personal; each one of my films is emotionally autobiographical. And I like directors who do that. With each one of my films, I'm exploring one of my own issues and I try to expose myself a little in the film.

I mean, I grew up riding. I can't ever remember not being able to ride or rope and all that stuff. It was part of my life growing up, so it was fun for me.

If you look at a lot of people's careers, the first couple of movies, usually, are the most embarrassing.

As long as I've known music, Bose has been the company to listen to. They're a lot of fun to work with, but also being able to associate yourself with such a high-quality product is great.

Anyone who is disturbed by the idea of newts in a nightclub is potentially dangerous.

No one wants growth, constant expansion, physical swelling. Growth is not a human value; it's a means to the ends of sufficiency and security. Once we have enough, no one wants more, unless it is sold to us as a cheap substitute for something else, something non-material.

I lack trust in others.

A lake is the landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.
