Moira Kelly quotes:

I just wanted to be married and to be happy ever after.

I did everything I could to stay in college and pay my own way, so I think that if success hadn't come so quickly, I would still be pursuing it.

Money's not important to me. Movie star acknowledgement is not important to me. I don't want to be a big studio actress. I don't want to be in the limelight.

I just want the opportunity to continue to do great films, play great characters and work with great people.

I went to Marymount College in New York City with a lot of kids whose parents paid their way, and I wouldn't even have thought of asking my parents - they couldn't afford it, not with six kids!

I truly believe that God brought this, Dorothy Day script to me, because for a long time up until I was in eight grade - I wanted to be a nun.

Nudity... I have to say I will never do it again.

We're not all called to be Dorothy Day.

I never had to pound the pavement and really struggle after college.

I do have the freedom to choose what I want to do and I'll continue to do that.

I grew up mostly with classical, big band, and a lot of Irish music - I really didn't start listening to rock and roll until I was maybe sixteen.

A few months after graduation I was working in films. It took off pretty quick.

I used to babysit a lot, and I used to be a nanny.

I'd love to have the opportunity to sing in a Disney movie.

I get a lot of recognition for my voice. That always surprises me.

An audience is going to be able to find a little bit of Dorothy in themselves and relate to this woman.: roles like Dorothy Day are so rare in Hollywood.

Children are so creative and imaginative that they just bring you to life all over again.

You know, I like playing around with my voice and trying all different types of kooky voices.

But what I like to sing mostly is blues and cabaret style.

There are a lot of battles to face, and if I didn't have that religious core - that base to turn to - I would be truly lost.
