clever children thank-god
The worst storyline Ive ever been involved in I wasnt involved in, because I was clever enough to get pregnant with my second child and they wrote me out and they replaced me with Christine Jones. And thank God - that was the worst storyline.
husband grateful kids
My husband gave up all his work to stay at home with the kids, and we split all the duties at home. I do all the boring stuff - like pay the bills, and he does all the exercising for both of us, which Im very grateful for... I thank him for it regularly.
powerful thinking voice
You know, if you think about it, the most powerful people on this earth probably never raise their voices - they just say it and people hop to, because they have that power.
mother dream religious
I think it's a mother's dream come true to see it work out that way. Not just the mother, but certainly parents, to know that their children have a very solid moral foundation and religious foundation.
real hopeless kind
If you have ever been in a real tragic or sad situation, the words that come out are hopelessly inadequate and kind of cliched.
jobs personality individualism
Jean's whole job is to protect Victoria. Jean is a very practical, very orderly, very disciplined person; she is the personality called the gatekeeper.
children puppy wonderful
But also, it's a wonderful thing for children to see the birthing of puppies, to see nature at its best when it works and to have the experience of the puppies.
play
Oh, God, I would love to go and do a play someplace.
might kind theater
I might be doing a lot more theater, which is kind of what I love, but there's simply no time for.
long stage havens
I haven't been on the stage in a long time.
healthy not-happy fame
Fame an fortune are nothing if you're not happy and healthy.
nice years lucky
I've obviously made a very nice amount of money. I have a very nice lifestyle. I get to do what I love. Very few actors get to do that, and even fewer are lucky enough to work steadily for 24 years.
beauty country morning
And at five o'clock in the morning we left to drive to Old Tucson, and I sat with my mouth open in the van. I was stunned by the beauty of that country.
running silly people
Very few people run around and get amnesia and have comas and come out of them and do all the silly of people have strokes and have comas and come out of them and do all the silly things we do on soaps.
