I'm free of an abusive cult, based on money and power that worships a fictional deity and safely back with the Catholic Church.

We had such a wonderful set of circumstances in Wilmington. Yes, the four of us became famous literally overnight, but we were in a small town and we always knew when people were coming down. We always knew when to behave.

Every role that you don't get burns you for a while.

Suri is my daughter, she's very, very special to me, and this project took a lot of time and because it's my first feature I wanted her to know that she's so special to me. I thought that as she gets old that will mean more to her, that she's always the most important, and I wanted to give her a special thanks because she means everything to me.

We all keep dreaming, and luckily, dreams come true.

It's nice to do something about something that scares you rather than just run from it and hope that someone saves you. I like seeing strong female characters and somebody who doesn't run away screaming when scared, but confronts the monsters.

When I read scripts and when I read books, it's more of an emotional response and I was really drawn to these characters.
