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.
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.
We have a world that is searching for answers, that is searching for a way back to spirituality.
I never had to pound the pavement and really struggle after college.
We're not all called to be Dorothy Day.
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.
Nudity... I have to say I will never do it again.
Now I listen to all kinds of music except rap, which all sounds the same to me.
My dream is to eventually open a children's theatre.
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.

I'd love to have the opportunity to sing in a Disney movie.
