About auditioning for "Sister Act": "I get this call: They're having trouble finding the young mousy nun so they want me to go in. 'But isn't this singing?' I ask. 'Yes, they know you don't sing.' I go in, read the scene, it goes well and the director says to me, 'Will you sing a song for us?' I said, 'Sing? I don't sing.' 'No, no, no, Lauren, it doesn't matter that you don't sing. We just want to see if you look like you can sing--do the body movements and the facial expressions and then we'll dub it.' So I closed my eyes and belted out 'Happy Birthday' as loud as I could and I tried to put all the feeling and body movement into it. When I finished, I opened my eyes. I've never seen such looks of horror as there were on their faces. Then I heard someone in the back of this group say, 'Wow, that girl's got balls.' It was horrible." --Lauren Holly quoted in Movieline, November 1995
About her time on "All My Children": "Oh, I have wonderful memories. It was great acting experience because I got to do it all. I hated my mother. I found out my stepfather attacked someone. I was married and divorced. It was really deep stuff. And Julie knew Erica Kane! It's funny to this day, I'll be out to dinner or out shopping and someone will yell, 'It's Julie from "All My Children." When are you coming back to Pine Valley?'" --Holly to The Chicago Sun-Times, March 22, 1998
Jim Carrey's press release at time of his marriage to Holly: "Despite the sometimes mind-boggling excitement I now face on a day-to-day basis, I am striving to live a loving and honorable life. Lauren is my proof and my reward; not to mention a fantastic beard to conceal my raging homosexual lifestyle. Okay . . . the second part was a joke."
On life with Jim Carrey: "He's not an exhausting guy to live with. His situation can be exhausting. We'd be leaving some event and literally racing the car. One time, on Pico Boulevard in L.A., we're doing 80 to get away from these trucks of guys with cameras. It was all about, 'They can't find out where we live.' He's forced into a weird isolation, even if it's only in his head, so he creates barriers to people that he may meet." --Lauren Holly to US, January 1998
