Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.

A relationship has to be cultivated. There have to be feelings of love for another first. But then you have to really like the person.

I'm not saying that people should not divorce, but at the rate at which it happens here is sick. The kids, they suffer. I don't care what anyone says.

Being in love, and I'm not an expert in this, I've lived it as much as anyone has, but I've not dissected it.

I think 'Y&R's future is contingent upon the ratings. Obviously, none of the soaps are kept alive for the sake of loyalty. It's all about ratings. It's show business. Period.

If we keep on ignoring and leaving children to their own devices at home, they become latchkey kids, and trust me, the consequences of that are not good.

Some situations are so hopeless when you look at them from the outside, you say, "Why are they still married?"

It's very difficult to judge relationships from the outside. You never know what happens in intimate moments with two people to know why they really support and love each other.

If it's really so wonderful that both partners have to work to make a living to pay for their house, for health insurance, someone is obviously going to get the short end of the stick.

A mother's got to be there to raise the children. That's all there is to it. I feel badly for those mothers who work hard, and can't do it all the time.

The workplace should have a place where the kids can visit. They should have places at the mother's or the father's work where professionals can have their kids visit them whenever they feel like it.

I kissed Ryan, and it charged him up like a freaking Duracell.

How was a boy who'd tasted poverty ever expected to choose the poorer road?

Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men.

If you turn down work because you are frightened of getting typecast, you'll never do anything good.

Just because you have a nightmare doesn't mean you stop dreaming.

The way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life.

What you do speaks so loud that I cannot hear what you say.

The good-news stories in medicine are early detection, early intervention.

I had to sit in front of all these people, and act like I knew what I was doing. I faked my way through it pretty well.
