I've been doing musicals since forever. Actually, I was focused on singing and becoming a singer until I landed on 'Passions.

When I say, 'We're a team,' the reason why I point that out is because at 'All My Children,' that's the mindset. They're a team. And I've said this to other people: They're like a united front.

When I left 'Days of Our Lives,' I was like, 'I don't know if I'm ever working again. I'm going to do the best I can. If it happens, great. If not, well... it sucks for me.

The confirmation for both jobs - 'AMC' and 'Smallville' - came through on the same day, so there was a lot of wine flowing in the Hartley house that night!

I was devastated when 'Days' let me go and couldn't help but feel it was my fault. What did I do wrong? What happened? It sucks. You always think it's your fault.

I just want to keep going with the soaps. Maybe it's because I'm just so used to them. I was 21 when I started 'Passions' and did that for nine years. It's what I know.

There is an event once a year that I'm able to sing at, through 'Passions,' in Tennessee. That's always fun. We perform at the Wild Horse Saloon.

If you've got comic book fans and soap fans and country fans, I think you've hit the whole world. What else is there?

I started in musicals. My first professional experience was Dorothy in 'The Wizard of Oz' in Palm Springs.

We all deserve a love as deep as the oceans. Let us keep our oceans clean and enjoyable for us all.

Marriage can be tricky and challenging at times.

I'm sad and blue, about nobody but you. I told you that I loved you right from the start, you told me the same and now you try to break my little heart.

your concert-goer, though he feed upon symphony as a lamb upon milk, is no true lover if he play no instrument. Your true lover does more than admire the muse; he sweats a little in her service.

Compassion is the wish for another being to be free from suffering; love is wanting them to have happiness.

99% of failures come from people who make excuses.

Allah knows exactly what to give you to help you return to Him. The events in your life are purposeful, appropriate & non-random.

Contemplate sweetly on love, and the wisdom of God shall find you.

Nevertheless, whether in occurrences lasting days, hours or mere minutes at a time, I have experienced happiness often, and have had brief encounters with it in my later years, even in old age.

Do not try and do too much with your own hands. Better the Arabs do it tolerably than you do it perfectly. It is their war, and you are to help them, not win it for them.
