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

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

I always wanted to be on a sitcom.

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.

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

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

The bottom line of Hollywood is money.

Maybe if I could ever be a successful comedian then I could be an example that Christians can also have fun.

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

They're desperately searching for meaning in their lives but they will not crack the Bible open.

I think abortion is murder.

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

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

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 always dreamed of being Maria in The Sound of Music.

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

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 entertainment is not supposed to be reality.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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