A smile costs about $240. |
After my daughter was born, I remember dressing her up, putting a little pink bonnet on her and proudly pushing her up Main Street in a stroller. |
Having played an angel for so long, you can imagine that I've been asked to endorse any number of causes over the years. Obviously I have to limit my participation with any charity, so I decided to really concentrate on my love of children. |
I also know how to ask people for money and I have no shame about doing that. |
I do my best thinking by the ocean. As much as I enjoy church service, I've always felt closer to God by the sea. |
I grew up in Ireland, and the ocean was never more than an arm's length away. As lovely as the mountains are and as friendly as the people of Utah are, I feel a bit landlocked there from time to time. |
I have a home in Salt Lake, and I have a home in Malibu, at the beach. |
I have an 8-year-old, Reilly. She has been very active in her own little world. |
I have the soul of a singer and do splendidly in the shower but the world will never hear it. Basically, I'm the only Irish person who can't carry a tune. |
I lost my mother when I was very young, and my father when I was in college. |
I think Operation Smile is in more than 22 countries, mostly Third World. It just happened that my schedule opened up at the time they were heading to Vietnam. |
I think people are hungry for things of a spiritual nature. The show hit its stride on a Sunday evening, and that's no accident. |
I was reading through endless junk scripts that were being sent my way. Typically the roles were to play his wife or his girlfriend - leading roles for women were few and far between. |
I'd love to do some bedtime stories for kids or that kind of thing. But with the demands of the shooting schedule and balancing the demands of being a single mother, it's a wonder you can squeeze in anything. |
I'm not fooling myself. I don't expect my faith to turn up on the cover of Rolling Stone anytime soon or expect MTV to run the video. But I know there's an audience for it. And our album is sincere and comes from a well-intentioned place. |
