I was looked at as weird, odd, not fitting in with the Hollywood crowd.

I feel bad about a lot of the movies I see that teach kids that if they do bad, they'll win.

You have to work in this business on your own terms. Don't sell out for money, fame, or notoriety.

People are hungry for messages of hope and life. What are you broadcasting?

I can meet any producer in Hollywood and look them in the eye, knowing I didn't sleep with them, or do drugs with them.

My mother had been a country and western singer but when she moved out to Hollywood found it very difficult to get work so when I was born they put me into dance classes and singing classes as soon as I could walk actually.

Do not trust the person of spite; though you have loved and tamed them, the snake will bite.
