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.

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.

If it came to saving the life of one priest or sacrificing the life of an entire congregation, the church would save the life of the priest. Which is backwards, of course.

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

You get a heck of a sound from the church. Can't you hear it in my voice?

Every true prayer is a prayer of the Church; by means of that prayer the Church prays, since it is the Holy Spirit living in the Church, Who in every single soul 'prays in us with unspeakable groanings'.

I think my election is one of several indications that gay and lesbian folk are being brought more into the center of things. I'd like to think that my election signals my bringing of gay and lesbian folk into the center of the church.

So, not only am I panicking over the weekend if I need to know my lines, but also if can I get the kids to the zoo. Can I even go to church? I was asking for certain things that would allow me to plan my life a little better.

The more I do bookstores, the more people come up to me from church groups. I spoke at Pittsburg State College and had 2 or 3 ministers and book groups from a couple of churches.

My father started me singing in church.

Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. Keep the church and state forever separate.

A lot of victims, for example, have become addicted to alcohol and drugs. It seems to me that the church's healing ministry is going to be enhanced through this in much broader strokes. That's good, it's all positive.

The intelligence investigation under the leadership of Senator Church, which I know has helped cause this investigation by you, points out that the agencies did not disclose certain facts to us and that certain plots were going on.

Yesterday I had a Shaker visitor, and today a Catholic; and the more I see and hear, the less do I care about church doctrines.

Some hypocrites and seeming mortified men, that held down their heads, were like the little images that they place in the very bowing of the vaults of churches, that look as if they held up the church, but are but puppets.

If all Church power vests in the clergy, then the people are practically bound to passive obedience in all matters of faith and practice; for all right of private judgment is then denied.

Mom and Dad would stay in bed on Sunday morning, but the kids would have to go to church.

It doesn't say anywhere in the Constitution this idea of the separation of church and state.

When I'm on stage, I'm trying to do one thing: bring people joy. Just like church does. People don't go to church to find trouble, they go there to lose it.
