Memorable Quotes
"I was nervous about going back to daytime, to be honest. My first week of the show I was a mess. I couldn't get it. I'm like, 'Wait a minute. This is too fast. Can we rehearse this just for fun?'" — Soap Opera Weekly, 9/14/04
"You can't play somebody for five years and not expect to see it seep into your personality. What I created on GENERAL HOSPITAL came from who I am as a woman." — Weekly, 8/21/01
"You feel gross if you have six tons of some pancake makeup on and look like Benny Hill. I'd look at it at go, 'This makeup is passe. It's not hip. It's not hot.'" — Weekly, 5/10/00
"I don't have a big ego. I mean, I do, yes, but not in terms of how good I am. Not at all. I mean ego in terms of what I think I'm capable of. And what I expect from myself." — Weekly, 1/23/99
