People always ask me, how do you do everything you do?

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

I don't know why you would trade a stud pitcher.

Indians were here first - it's about time. We're way behind the African Americans and Hispanic Americans in getting politically involved, but we're beginning to take a page out of their notebook.

Spring, / you are a pinking shears: you cut / fresh edges on the world.

My father has said a hundred times, and I have paid attention, that it's stupid to let money be the reason you don't do something.

What is not fully understood is not possessed.

Cruelty to children is the thing I can least bear in the world.

He sits next to me, careful to avoid my hair that's splayed out around my head like blood. A bullet to the forehead, boom, blond waves everywhere.

Comedies are often half-hour programs and then drama and action series are often an hour.

I've made some really good friends from movies, but a lot of the time it's a very isolated experience that lives and dies during the production.

No provision in our Constitution ought to be dearer to man than that which protects the rights of conscience against the enterprises of the civil authority.
