“Honestly, I am not trying to discourage anyone from becoming an actress, but if you want to become one be prepared to face everything that comes - along with it.”

“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.”

“My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.”

“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 don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry.”

“My advice is to make acting your second career choice.”

“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 have tons of jewelry. I like to wear a lot of it.”

“I think that people are definitely interested in the idea that Joan has conversations with God.”

“I could never say that one religion is wrong. I could never say that this person's God is wrong, I could never say that someone is wrong because they don't believe in God.”
