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

I always wanted to be on a sitcom.

The bottom line of Hollywood is money.

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.

When you go on an audition it’s very frightening.

Because I hate fake people and I always think I’m never fake.

It doesn’t make your life stop being fun to be a Christian.

Religion is man’s attempt to bind himself back to a relationship with God.

Maybe I’ll learn how, but the only thing I can do is turn down parts that would hurt my conscience.

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.

I think the reason they cast me as the good girls is because they couldn’t find any in Hollywood.

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.

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.

Sometimes I like to vent.

Movies are nice, but there are very few roles for women and most of them are sluts or something.

Now, I don’t mind making fun of those preachers who steal money from people, they kind of deserve it.

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.

I stayed a virgin until I was 23. I didn’t do drugs or drink or smoke.

I wasn’t really qualified to be on Saturday Night Live – I’m not like an impressionist or anything.

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.

It was the best job I ever had. I just left because my whole team was leaving and the new guys were coming.

I think abortion is murder.

I always dreamed of being Maria in The Sound of Music.

I’ve never been in the music industry, only acting.

I’ve had a lot of struggles and I would be in a lot of trouble, I think, if I wasn’t a Christian.

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.

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 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.

Maybe entertainment is not supposed to be reality.
