When I was at drama school I wanted to change the world and thought I had some great wisdom to impart to people about humanity. Now that I'm older I know enough to realise that I know nothing at all.

When you go off in the world and make your life and you come back to your home town and you find your old high-school friends driving in the same circles doing the same things that's what Hollywood's like. It's a little block little town. It doesn't really grow or change.

I just find the evangelical church too well restrictive. But the School of Practical Philosophy is nonconfrontational. We believe there are many forms of Scripture. What is true is true and will never change whether it's in the Bible or in Shakespeare. It's about oneness.

Today in America we are trying to prepare students for a high tech world of constant change but we are doing so by putting them through a school system designed in the early 20th Century that has not seen substantial change in 30 years.

Well I do think when there are more women that the tone of the conversation changes and also the goals of the conversation change. But it doesn't mean that the whole world would be a lot better if it were totally run by women. If you think that you've forgotten high school.

In America the schools have become too permissive the kids now are controlling the schools the tail is wagging the dog. We've got to make a change there and get it back to where the teachers have control of the classrooms.

We are taught you must blame your father your sisters your brothers the school the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.

Being an actress is similar to trying to fit in with the popular kids in high school. You're expected to drive the right car wear the right clothes and say the right things.

In high school during marathon phone conversations cheap pizza dinners and long suburban car rides I began to fall for boys because of who they actually were or at least who I thought they might become.

Yeah I left Idaho at 17. You know I graduated high school a year early and just you know the typical story packed up my car and moved out.
