I was moaning and grieving as if I lost one of my own children. It was probably one of the most real feelings I ever had on the show. I was just sitting there wailing...

There is really a whole new appreciation when you leave and then come back.

If I was a bad character that got away with murder like we see on other shows, I do not think I would like it because that sends a message that you can do these...

There was a storyline this year where Taylor lied to Brooke. It was supposed to be set up in a way that I was so outraged by her that I let it stay. I thought...

I was willing to check out what was happening in the world of feature films and primetime television. I had gotten new pictures made.

In September, I left the show. We were going through discussions and negotiations, and I had been on the show for about 11 years, and there were some things that I was asking for that...

Unfortunately, since the Sept. 11 tragedy, our business is not doing too well.

CBS started to confiscate our packages and mail as a safety procedure. A lot of packages that people send for the holidays and to our kids we can’t open. A lot of times they are...

It was scary, and I knew what it was like to be an unemployed actress again.

We cannot really communicate with our fans.

However, one of my best qualities is being able to organize my priorities and then, when it is time to shift gears, I can do it.

My children are the focal point of my life. I was asking for a little more time to spend with them.

We share responsibility. It’s important to have a good spouse; that’s where I sympathize with single parents.

I had just won the lawsuit against Melrose Place.

One girl was helped from my appearance on the show, and I swore I would not keep quiet again. When you talk about things that are embarrassing or devastating, obviously you can help people when...

We were led to a pediatric ophthalmologist. It’s a hard date for me, April 14, 1998. The doctor came back from the examining room and told us she had tumors in both eyes.

I have a really great relationship with God. I pray. I read the Bible.

So, not only am I panicking over the weekend if I need to know my lines, but also if can I get the kids to the zoo. Can I even go to church? I was...

When Taylor has to do something bad on the show, which is hardly ever, she always pays for what she does, and that way I am cool with it.

I kind of thought the writers were starting to take Taylor and make her kind of down and dirty.

The house seemed so empty without him. And I thought about the life we’d been building together for all that time. I realized I was on the brink of losing it all. It just scared...

I like to give the fans advice, so what I have been doing is working with the fans directly through e-mail, which is really unheard of.

The main concern was making sure the kids didn’t get caught in the middle.

I really like to communicate to my fans. I have a fan club president who I’ve had for over 15 years.

The only problem with the way they do my character is that they have her get redeemed too early.

I told him that I can play it if he wanted to write it, and I would be willing to try and go there emotionally. I did not know as an actress if I would...

There are many other pediatric eye diseases as well that, if they are detected early, are preventable. Not one child should lose their eyesight.
