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

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

God will give you more than you can handle because it is in your surrender that He gives you your victory!

War is wretched beyond description, and only a fool or a fraud could sentimentalize its cruel reality.

You can just stay in oblivion, going through your days and your life and your experiences, staying with your friends, family. If that suits you, it's good. But for some people, it's not enough.

I've directed enough in the theatre and a couple of films to know that - to feel fairly secure that if I find a story that I really like I can probably get it done somewhat.

Before catechisms can instill a proper humility, small children know the truth that their own existence has caused the world to bloom into being.

People who think of themselves as exiles, I find, can never really put their lives together, really.

There's a lot of fear-mongering about "losing control" of your brand online, when, in fact, you've got control over as much as you always have: how you present your business and how you act.

Talk of poems and prayers and promises, and things that we believe in. How sweet it is to love someone, how right it is to care, how long it's been since yesterday.

I'm still breathing because I have faith. My faith and my kids are the two things that matter.

I accept a role only if it's something I really, really like
