Knots was about the relationships that were built over many years.

You've got to realize that any lady on a soap is devoting her life to it, 24/7.

When I'm not involved in an acting job I try to run 10 miles a day.

I had been doing plays in New York and on a whim we packed up and moved West, I started doing commercials and plays and guest star spots on TV and one thing led to another and I got Knots Landing.

Our Revolution emerged where it was least expected by the empire, in a hemisphere where it was used to acting like an all-powerful master.

I have become a marketing tool and I feel very uncomfortable with that. There's no space for me to express myself.

By the mid-1990s, nearly everything in North Korea was worn out, broken, malfunctioning. The country had seen better days.
