  • [In 2013]: God knows it's claimed a big part of my life!
  • I never wanted to be a movie star. I always wanted to be an actress, one of the best. And I am.

I was in Hawaii with my kids when I made the final decision to go ahead. I thought long and hard and realized it would be a great opportunity.
  • I feel that John Conboy was important in changing daytime TV, Wes Kenney had a true love for actors, Charles Shaughnessy understood the actors' needs and Paul Rauch keeps showing a great sense of discipline.
  • [In 2011]: What would I do? I'm no good at crocheting. My fingers would bleed!
