Quotes

I`d done two movies with Elvis Presley. I`d been around Hollywood for a while - and saw how needlessly competitive and negative it could be. It never held my interest.

(imdb.com)

On her life before her vocation: "It was not a lifelong dream. I did not grow up wanting to be a nun. I wanted to be an actress. If it had ever been suggested I would one day be a nun, it would have been the last thing on my mind. It was a million to one shot I would ever be a nun."

(imdb.com)

On her life since becoming a nun: "I have struggled with this call to vocation all my life. I can understand why people have doubts, because who understands God? I don`t. When you are dealing with something at this level, you are dealing with mystery."
