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

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

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

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 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.

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