Amber Tamblyn

I tried not to make God this big deal in Joan's life. She treats God like a friend: she's nice to him some days, and other days mean, and then cries when she needs help.

Our show is less about a girl who is doing miracles and more about the domino effect of this girl's life, and how everyone else is affected. Our show seems to be a questioning show as opposed to an action sort of fairy tale.

I remember when I first started in the business, I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous, some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.

I liked the humor of it, I've always enjoyed a sense of humor in God and in religion and in spirituality.

Other people like Neil Young and Dennis Hopper, those are just really close knit family friends.

A lot of people think I'm cynical when I talk about acting. The truth of the matter is, I just don't want someone to get some lame advice that will send them in the wrong direction.

One of my good friends is Christian, goes to church every Sunday, very religious. I'm fine with that and I will never judge her.

My own personal connection with God was not in a religious sense, so I wasn't really thinking in that way when I got the role and when I started doing it.

I think any time you have too much education in one certain field, that can sometimes play against you.

This will be the fourth time I've seen this film. I'm very proud of it and I think it's a great movie for women of any age. And almost every single man I've talked to has admitted to crying.

I've been kind of submerged in my own little geographic location for a really long time in Venice Beach.

My father comes from a generation of film that actors my age don't even know about, which is really sad.
