I'm savoring being in California every minute, learning that traffic is just God's way of saying 'Hi.'

I have a nice little movie career, and I write plays and do my act.

Younger audiences are into me because I did 'Stuart Little,' and that movie was a very big deal for kids. And in 'Angels in the Outfield,' a generation of kids learned about magic and angels. And then, of course, there are these two blond girls named Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and I played their nanny on their TV show.

I was a top-notch cartoon model for Hanna Barbera, and they made me into a cartoon series called 'Devlin,' which ran for seven years, and I was on lunch pails and coloring books and all of that. It's really interesting being a coloring book when you're young - most kids colored in coloring books, but I made money off coloring books.

I don't think that scheduling is uncreative. I think that structure is required for creativity.

Creative output, you know, is just pain. I'm going to be cliche for a minute and say that great art comes from pain.

I think the music that I'm writing and the stuff I'm going to do as I age will age.

A priest once said to me, 'Think of a priest going to the altar as you walk out on the stage.' I would hate to think that anyone thought I was coming to preach. But art and music open up things that you can't put into words. It's about bringing joy when you go out there.
