I love spaghetti and meatballs... I eat a lot.
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.
I was very happy here with my job in daytime television as Erica Kane. And being able to see my children, and all of that has worked for me.
My parents were both from extremely different backgrounds. My father's Italian, my mother was of Swedish descent. They're both first-generation Americans.
People always ask me, how do you do everything you do?
You know what my greatest personal stumbling block is? My shyness.
