What I learned growing up on the farm was a way of life that was centered on hard work and on faith and on thrift. Those values have stuck with me my whole life.

It strikes me as odd that the free exercise of religious faith is sometimes treated as a problem something America is stuck with instead of blessed with.

I met Ashley two weeks before I married him. It was a joke-the most ridiculous thing I've ever done. Once I was married I didn't want to be a failure so I stuck it out for six months which was about six months too long.

If you get into a Broadway show and it doesn't work you're a failure. And if it does work you may be stuck for who knows how long. It just doesn't sound great to me!

If education does not create a need for the best in life then we are stuck in an undemocratic rigid caste society.

I've always been a bit of a decorator. I think if I wasn't a singer I'd probably be in stage setting or interior design or something. I like clutter and I'm quite visually greedy. I can't have things to be plain I have to have things looking interesting... maybe I'm just a frustrated interior designer stuck in a singing career.

I got stuck up a tree when I was about seven and my dad had to come and get the ladder to get me down. I loved to climb all the way up to the top. I must have been a koala in my past life.

I read the script for Wonder Boys and I said that was almost perfect it was so classy cool and funny. It's a really specific thing. We stuck to it it turned out good and a lot of people liked it.

I once sang 'Summer Nights ' from 'Grease ' at a bar in Melbourne with John Travolta who's a good friend of mine. He looked cool singing the part of Danny - sitting in an armchair smoking a cigar - while I got stuck playing Sandy.

A few years ago I was at a party and this guy threw me over his shoulder ran across the street put me in his car and stuck his tongue in my mouth.
