When I was growing up in the house, we'd watch the Oscars.

Since I got into the movies, 'Running Scared,' that did $40 million. 'Princess Bride,' I got good reviews for the character Miracle Max. 'Memories of Me' didn't do well. 'Throw Mama from the Train' did $70 million. 'Harry and Sally' did 95 or 96. 'City Slickers' did $120 million.

My dad, Jack, had a great sense of humour and had a strong impact on me and my humour.

The decision-making process was very difficult: is this how I want my career to start, with playing Jodie Dallas on this show?

If our most highly qualified General Staff officers had been told to work out the most nonsensical high level organization for war which they could think of, they could not have produced anything more stupid that that which we have at present.

There's no shame in striving for peace.

God put me on this earth to bring souls back to the Kingdom of God. You don't need to pray ten times a day - you just need hope. My music is going to stop war; it's the healing music. I see myself in Brazil, in Syria, in Darfur, and places where they really need hope.

My daddy was a World War I pilot, and I just wanted to be able to fly like he did.
