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

My grandsons really love my apple cake, which is from my grandmother's recipe.

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 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.

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.
