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

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.

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.

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

It’s all right to tell a man to lift himself by his own bootstraps, but it is cruel jest to say to a bootless man that he ought to lift himself by his own bootstraps.

Consider the fruit of the Spirit

Granddad offered me one hundred dollars if I would cut my mop of curly hair into a neat military style. Just before the wedding, I got a light trim. It wasn't enough for Granddad, and he didn't pay.

I think playing solo is a second rate activity, really. For me, playing is about playing with other people.

Above all, we know that although Americans can be led to make great sacrifices, they do not like to be driven.

Ben Carson actually lost a tooth. Which explains why he said that under his leadership, Americans would be entitled to 'life, liberty, and the purthuit of happineth.'

For a long time I didn't want to do a solo thing, but there comes a point where everyone else is going outside of The Strokes and The Strokes filtering process.

If you want to be happy, just be.

In those first few hours officially single again the world seems like it expands, suddenly bigger and more vast now that you have to get through it alone.

For the surface, I'm not interested in painterly convention. It's more interesting if it looks like it painted itself.
