Season number seven! It’s been so exciting for us. When we first began, we were like the little train that could… and we did! We’re terribly excited! It will be an interesting season for us, I think. – Roma Downey

When I was in high school, I thought I might be an artist. I was very good at drawing and painting. – Roma Downey
Individual stories from the Bible had been made into movies, but no one had taken on the arc of the Bible story as one meta-narrative from Genesis to Revelation. – Roma Downey
People really feel the need to share how the series has touched their lives, and that’s been very moving. We’re enormously grateful to the fans of the show. They’ve been extremely loyal to us season after season, and they make it all worthwhile. – Roma Downey
I was reading through endless junk scripts that were being sent my way. Typically the roles were to play his wife or his girlfriend – leading roles for women were few and far between. – Roma Downey
Over the years, I’ve found myself wishing sometimes my angel would show up. I could use a little uplift, a little reminder. – Roma Downey
Having played an angel for so long, you can imagine that I’ve been asked to endorse any number of causes over the years. Obviously I have to limit my participation with any charity, so I decided to really concentrate on my love of children. – Roma Downey
We work hard on the show. We really believe in the show. It’s an enormous privilege to work on a show that has the power to touch people’s lives in such a positive way. The fan mail and the e-mail certainly reflect that. – Roma Downey
I came up through the theater. I came out of drama college and started working in the professional theater. – Roma Downey
I think that ‘Little Angels’ provides the gateway into that conversation about faith and about the Lord and about God’s love for us. Remembering that the angels are just the messengers and the message is the message of love. – Roma Downey
‘Touched by an Angel’ started my calling to be the messenger, and on a weekly basis, I was able to deliver the message of God’s love to the world. – Roma Downey
I grew up in a house full of faith, and my mother died when I was a little girl, and I found comfort in my faith. – Roma Downey

We were the laughingstock of that first season… It was with great relish several years later that I received a TV Guide award for favorite actress on television. – Roma Downey
I live a life of gratitude for the abundance of love that I have and that ‘Touched by An Angel’ still has an impact that fans are still accessing. – Roma Downey
Before I left home for drama school in England, my father took me outside one night and told me that wherever I was, the moon would shine on both of us. Months later, walking in London, I’d look at the moon and feel his love. Now I’ve shared the ritual with my own kids. – Roma Downey
In the case of ‘The Bible’ series and now ‘Son of God,’ it has been a combination of what I love to do and what I believe. To be able to do that with the person I love has just really been a blessing. – Roma Downey
