princess royalty spite
[On Princess Anne:] Such an active, outdoorsy lass. She loves nature in spite of what it did to her.
spite nature-love
I love nature, in spite of what it did to me.
fans far kept literally offering producers
I got so far away from what they told you in acting class: Do something different. Producers kept offering me the 'Sister Act' movie, but I said, 'My fans don't want to see me in a wimple.' I literally said, 'My fans don't want to see me in a wimple.'
avoided calls gave roles studios took
My husband calls it winging it - the way I just took what the studios gave me, didn't do my homework and avoided roles that would risk my image.
music school
I sometimes think I should go back to school to learn French and music, but who would have me?
finding success
The worst part of success is to try finding someone who is happy for you.
art education music next taken
Education is my next big thing. When music and art were taken out of the schools, I went berserk!
eye granted shine
If I could be granted a wish, I'd shine in your eye like a jewel.
happiness hardest learned
I learned to accept the audience's happiness for me, which is one of the hardest things for me to learn.
stars doors ideas
I had no idea of being a star, all I knew was that I wanted to be a great actress, I wanted to work as an actress. So I thought the way I would be a great actress was to sing and dance first. Lay a foundation - get my foot in the door, and then undoubtedly, of course, I would be offered great roles as soon as I grew up enough to handle them.
people way entertainment
The Internet has changed everything. People will be discovered online. People buy music online. It's a completely different way to get entertainment.
thinking essence issues
I think the essence of humor has not changed. It's all about surprise, facilitating follows. But the context of humor has changed. Previously, the jokes were more related to current issues, political. Today people make about each other either funny or about people like Kim Kardashian. It's brutal. Everything is so much vielschmutziger.
teacher sibling independent
My parents have not insisted that we go to college, but she wanted us to learn. Teacher, librarian, secretary, nurse. All my siblings were employed. But I wanted to be the boss, an independent contractor.
men parent pay
My parents taught me: Do not rely on a man. Not rely on it that you get married and it pays for you. That's what I figured. I have always paid my own bills.
