If a dad does his job, we don't need prisons, we don't need jails. That's what I saw growing up.
People in Finland have also adopted me because of my dad, and that's great, but it's the one language I can't speak.
My parents met in the theatre, and I thought that was so romantic. My dad was a scenic designer and my mom was a dancer, and that's how they met; they met in the theatre.
As I think about the future, I'm back where most people live their lives. Which is, death is not imminent, and that's different.
Young girls look to me as a role model and think I crash diet to keep slim. That's not true, I always eat properly.
I've never had body issues, I've never had an eating disorder. I've never had to go on a diet and that's because of Weight Watchers.
I always had dreams. I knew I wanted to have money to buy things at the flea market. That's worked out well.
Conquering America for a U.K. artist is incredible because that's what everybody wants and dreams about. The accomplishment is dominating a market which you aren't familiar with.
I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.
Every actor wants to win an Oscar, full stop. It doesn't mean you try to design things around how to accomplish that because that's impossible.
That's the awful thing about dating. Tight underwear. We would all like to be in a big bra and pants and when you are in a secure relationship you can do that.
I also tell them that your education can take you way farther than a football, baseball, track, or basketball will - that's just the bottom line.
When it comes down to helping kids, a lot of ways for education to move forward is through music because that's exciting to kids. Reading books and going to a bookstore is not that exciting.
That's my suggestion for kids who want to act, by the way: Make sure it's really your choice, get out of it when it stops being fun, and get an education.
I mainly read non-fiction, and that's probably because I have a huge amount of insecurity about my lack of education and the things I don't know.
When my body feels good, I feel more energized and alive, and that's sexy. I'm taking care of this body God gave me.
Country and western is the music of the devil. That's the real truth of the matter. My late Mother, bless her, loved country and western. God, I couldn't handle it.
Me, I'm spiritually retarded, I need to be knee deep in water with a fly rod in my hands, that's about as close to God as I get.
That's what got me through 65 years of life - my belief in God and what He's done for us and what He will do for us.
Music critics think of lyrics first and don't consider melody but so many songs are lyrically depressing but musically great, and that's why they become classics.
Getting all dressed up and putting on fancy clothes - all of that's a great thing, but oddly, it doesn't really have a lot to do with acting most of the time.
