Catherine O'Hara

I'm pretty much a good Catholic girl at heart and I believe in family. I also have a basic belief that God takes care of me.

I believe in prayer, even though I'm not that religious.

I just have that foundation from my family.

I mean when you think that you're just a human being and one of God's creatures, you can't take anything that seriously.
