MEMORABLE QUOTES

  • "I was like, 'Why do you want me? I'm a singer, for Christ's sake.' I don't know why [Fangmeier] wanted me, but he did. I'm always getting approached for films—maybe they see me onstage and see the way I get all emotional. But I was like, 'Hey, let's do it.' I never really take anything seriously until I have to, and acting is fun. I never thought I'd do it, but hey, why not, man?" - Joss Stone about being cast in the movie Eragon
  • "I just wanted to challenge myself. There are things in the film that are going to really push the boundaries, and that excites me." (about her role as a lesbian entertainment manager in "Snappers")


FUN FACTS


  • first CD Joss bought was "Arthea Franklin's Greatest Hits"
