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.

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

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

People always ask me, how do you do everything you do?

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 love spaghetti and meatballs... I eat a lot.
