I won't undertake war until I have tried all the arts and means of peace.

Bob Marley stood for universal peace and love. He tried to break racial barriers.

I've never had a very quiet voice. I tried in choir to make it smaller and it just didn't work out. And I listened to a lot of soul music when I was growing up on my own accord. But I was mostly into Mama Cass and Gladys Knight and they all had big voices too just different than mine.

You can't give up something you really believe in for financial reasons. If you die by the roadside - so be it. But at least you know you've tried. Ten minutes in the music scene was the equal of one hundred years outside of it.

I met my boyfriend a pro poker player at a tournament. He tried to dissuade me because it's a seedy gritty world. Listen I've played till 4 in the morning. I've played with a half million dollars on the table.

When I wake up in the morning I just can't get started until I've had that first piping hot pot of coffee. Oh I've tried other enemas.

My mom thought I might be good for voiceover. She thought I had a cute voice so maybe I could do a cartoon or something. And while we were looking into that we also thought I should get into theater acting so I tried it and the first audition I went on I booked it. And it kind of just snowballed from there.

I gave guitar lessons. I tried to join bands. My mom always said it was obvious that nothing was going to stop me.

One time my mom tried to ground me but that lasted 15 minutes.

All of us kids ended up 'doing Mom.' There are four of us who've tried show business. Five if you insist on counting my sister the nun who does liturgical dance.
