Back when I was 8 or 9 and wanted to be a nun, I would often stop at church on my way home from school.

Growing up, I was never the kind of girl to dream about wedding dresses and pretty houses.

I'd the upbringing a nun would envy. Until I was fifteen I was more familiar with Africa than my own body.

When I was a little girl, I used to walk around with a towel on my head, pretending I was a nun. And then one day my mother said, 'Why don't you just become an actress, and then you can pretend you're a nun.'

I wanted to be into fashion, but I was never the kind of person who could keep up with fashion trends, and I could never style my hair the way everyone else's was - my hair was very thin, so I couldn't do, like, the sprayed bangs everyone else was into.

I never thought I would get married. I didn't think I was that type of person.

I never thought I would get married and have kids. I thought I was going to be a gypsy actor, traveling all over the world playing the great roles. I ended up having a kid very young, and it put things in perspective.

I went to a school run by Catholic nuns. They were really strict.

Every day after school for 10 years, I was on the set of 'Married... with Children,' which is a really funny and perverse place for a little girl in a Catholic school uniform to grow up.
