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

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.

I somehow instinctively knew it would be much better to win.

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

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.

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

My parents were both from extremely different backgrounds. My father's Italian, my mother was of Swedish descent. They're both first-generation Americans.
