Quotes
ADD QUOTES-
Lark Voorhies: I understand my part as a role model. I have a young following. I'd like to pass onto young women that femininity is in your strength and intelligence. It's not what's on the surface.
-
Lark Voorhies: I do have a fashion bug, but my style isn't as wacky as some of my characters. I have a more classic taste, things that just kind of never are on a trend. They kind of always stay in style. Kind of boring, but it's me.
-
Lark Voorhies: Wow...I can't think of my favorite actor or actress, but I do have to say that the most fun times I've had during my career were at Saved by the Bell. It was incredible to grow up on a sitcom in front of everyone. It was one of the best experiences in my life. We had so much fun on the set.
-
(When asked how she got started in acting, and if she had any advice for aspiring actors) Lark Voorhies: I did the footwork myself. Well, my mother did it. And went around to different agencies and sent regular headshots of me with a 35 mm. camera and got an agent. And I suggest that if you plan on getting into this business, understand that absolute dedication is required because the competition nowadays is massive and fierce. This is a career and it's not a place to just test the water. You have to want it with all your heart and soul.
-
Lark: (On Saved by the Bell's eventual success) It was shocking and, uh, I think it took all of us by surprise.
-
Lark Voorhies: My mother saw a movie when she was 14 years old. I forget the name of the movie, but one of the lead characters was named Lark. She decided then she would name me and she stuck to it, and here I am.
