It is hard sometimes to look into the future, you never know what twist and turn the school of life is going to take.

I love spaghetti and meatballs... I eat a lot.

Life goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running will thrive. They have millions of loyal viewers.

You know what my greatest personal stumbling block is? My shyness.

It took awhile for me to get used to speaking candidly about my own life. I got into it, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

My parents were both from extremely different backgrounds. My father's Italian, my mother was of Swedish descent. They're both first-generation Americans.

I want you to know how I feel about my Italian heritage, so I'd like to say a few words in Italian: Verdi, Pavarotti, DiMaggio, Valentino, De Niro, Giuliani. . .

I really always felt that I was going to be an actress. I had a lot of confidence in the fact that I would do well from a very early age. I didn't know how tough the business is.

Erica Kane was a spectacular role for any actress to play, and I felt so lucky to be the one who got to do it.

I somehow instinctively knew it would be much better to win.

I married somebody who is very secure. He's been in my corner from the time we met, and we grew in this together.

Love was never a mistake, even when it wasn't returned.

Uttering a word is like striking a note on the keyboard of the imagination.

Writing at its best is simply taking dictation from your soul.

Working all winter shining all summer

The perfect date is the one where anything and everything goes wrong, but at the end of it, all you want is to see them again.

perhaps there's no sharper spur to meditation than answered prayer.

The only thing Earl (Weaver) knows about big-league pitching is that he couldn't hit it.

I'd been hurt, and in response I had acted violently, destroying a little of myself each time I did so.

One might have supposed that the true act of love was to lie together and talk.

my spirit is too ancient to understand the separation of soul & gender
