I had just won the lawsuit against Melrose Place.

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 asking for certain things that would allow me to plan my life a little better.

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 from overseas. It's very upsetting at times.

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

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 with no lines. I was beat after that storyline.

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

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

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.

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 horrible things and never pay for it.

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 that was human, which was great.

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 be able to get there, because when you feel really deep emotions or pain, you don't want to go back there.

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 you do.

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

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

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

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

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

I had just won the lawsuit against Melrose Place.

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

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 I didn't feel were the moon or the stars.

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

We cannot really communicate with our fans.

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 me into reality.

Understand the flaws and you will know the perfection of the Universe.

There are domains in which expertise is not possible. Stock picking is a good example. And in long-term political strategic forecasting, it's been shown that experts are just not better than a dice-throwing monkey.

Love the art in yourself and not yourself in the art.

By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.

I have long been convinced that families are the primary agents of social change in any society.

I have several times made a poor choice by avoiding a necessary confrontation.

I spend a fair chunk of time in Los Angeles, and after about ten days of warmth and unbroken clear skies, you start to yearn for a bit of good old British gloom and rain!

There's even an aircraft sensor system that sends down hundreds of thousands of pulses of light measured at different return rates. It allows you to literally strip away vegetation and see entire cities beneath the rain forest canopy. This is the unbelievable future of archaeology.

You need new roads to discover new places!

I try to say something about the human condition whenever I can when I'm lucky.

There are ogres and black beasts out there; you have to be constantly on guard.

I spent most of the early years of my walk with God focused on what was wrong with me. Most of us probably do that, hoping to change ourselves.

Your most important friendships should be with your own brothers and sisters and with your father and mother. Love your family. Be loyal to them. Have a genuine concern for your brothers and sisters.

Iran has long sponsored terrorists who carry out homicide bombings in Israeli cities. However, it is a mistake to believe the danger Iran poses is directed at Israel alone.

Ignorance is not innocence but sin.

It's not fair to compare one artist to another because they all come with their own sort of elements to the picnic, you know.

Lot of things depend on the up bringing of a child.

You can either hold onto your dream by letting go of your excuses or hold onto your excuses by letting go of your dream.

The smells of Christmas are the smells of childhood.

The young are permanently in a state resembling intoxication.

I'm always amused when the 'New York Times' writes editorials trying to be helpful to Republicans and say, 'This is the way Republicans can save themselves.' Look, the 'New York Times' disagrees with us. They're entitled to disagree with us, but it's not like we should take their advice.

Democrats are not about to nominate anyone who backs the tax cut, and Americans are not going to elect anyone who favors a tax increase.

Every philosophical problem, when it is subjected to the necessary analysis and justification, is found either to be not really philosophical at all, or else to be, in the sense in which we are using the word, logical.

I think my passion is misinterpreted as anger sometimes. And I don't think people are ready for the message that I'm delivering, and delivering with a sense of violent love.
