I had been doing plays in New York and on a whim we packed up and moved West, I started doing commercials and plays and guest star spots on TV and one thing led to another and I got Knots Landing.

I need to run every day. If I don't I feel cheated.

Maybe some of my quest for success comes from Joan of Arc but theres no conscious part of Catholicism in my life.

When youre on a long running series, you reach a very rarefied, high oxygen area and after a while to keep a show on the air they have to make some very drastic changes.

Running is my church.

I still want to do a comedy series.

You've got to realize that any lady on a soap is devoting her life to it, 24/7.
