I am not one of those actresses who loves acting.

I never had a driving ambition to be a star.

I was certainly typecast for a while on television because I was always being cast as the compassionate mother or whatever.

For a long time, I resisted seeing The Sound of Music, but when I finally did, I cried.

I used to love people for what they could be. I thought love was how hard you tried and how much you sacrificed and suffered. That is not love. Acceptance is.

All of us from The Waltons still love each other. I think were closer than some real families.

I used to pride myself on the fact that I kept a house running and never burdened anybody.

As an actor, one of my greatest fears is losing my memory.

I dont mean to insult television, but a lot of the time, its pretty straightforward. If you say, I love you, you mean I love you. There isnt time for anything more.

Do no harm, but take no shit.

Finally liberty has come!

I never even had a bachelorhood: I went straight from my parents' home to a marriage.

Technology is similarly just a catalyst at times for fundamental forces already present.

I'm convinced that there is nothing that can happen to me in this life that is not precisely designed by a sovereign Lord to give me the opportunity to learn to know Him.

When we got married, we agreed on a boy for me, and a girl for you. Mine's upstairs sleeping. Good luck with yours!

If I had my way, I'd wear jewelry, a great pair of heels and nothing else.

I had a really happy childhood - my siblings were great, my mother was very fanciful, and I loved to read. But there was always financial strife.

If you don't build castles in the air you won't build anything on the ground.
