I put the movie days totally behind me... It was a part of my past that I really kind of put in a little drawer and shut the door.

I never wanted to return to Hollywood because Hollywood people and the fakeness - very artificial and not dear to my heart. After I lived in the Midwest, and I learned what sincere, real people were all about, I never wanted to go back.

I was raising seven kids. I lived in the bedrooms, in the laundry room, in the kitchen, in the car - car pooling all over. I just didn't have time to sit down and watch a lot of TV. So I really didn't.

I never saw movies I was in because my mom told me that would be prideful, being stuck on yourself.

I grew up with a big family. I want that. I want to have my own family.

I know it's a cliche, but the whole family is just whacked. I mean, we're all out of our minds. They're the funniest, most eccentric bizarre people I've ever met, my siblings.

I have continued systematically to study the Book of Mormon and Bible to understand even more deeply what God expects of me and my family while on this earth.

My mother learnt Mohiniyattam as a child, and my father loved singing.
