"If you want your life to be richer and fuller, and you just want to be really happy, then there you go. You need Scientology." — Kelly Preston, interview with Scientology Celebrity Centerhttp://www.scientology.cc/articles/603292245311.vm

"Acting for me is very cathartic and it gets me out of my head...I'm able to live sort of in another world and in another person for a time being and just work through things I think, which is really nice. And it keeps you extroverted. Even though you're very much looking in at times because there's a lot of self-discovery, it also keeps you very extroverted. It keeps your mind on something else." — Kelly Preston, interview with iVillage Entertainmenthttp://www.ivillage.com/kelly-preston-interview-last-song-miley-cyrus/1-a-129722
