We're nondenominational. I come from Northern Ireland, and we've had religious wars for years. I didn't want to create an illusion that my God is better than your God. So our show is a spiritual show, not a religious show.

We were the laughingstock of that first season... It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television.

Having played an angel for so long, you can imagine that I've been asked to endorse any number of causes over the years. Obviously I have to limit my participation with any charity, so I decided to really concentrate on my love of children.

For many years, I thought a poem was a whisper overheard, not an aria heard.

For years, I had heard about the lack of interest in literature in the U.S. and I had complained about it. I failed to understand how people could fail to be moved by art.

I prayed for twenty years but received no answer until I prayed with my legs.

I have increasingly, over the years, felt that religion today does our civilization more harm than good.

Wilde is the greatest force for evil that has appeared in Europe during the last 350 years.

I've done a few studio films in the last few years where I feel like I've done good work, and then I only end up in two scenes. That's been very disappointing.
