"When I first came back to New York, when I talked to anybody about soap opera, they said 'All My Children' is the best place to work. That was from people who were on the show and weren't on the show, had never been on the show and never hoped to be on the show. But the word was it's the best soap opera to work on. And I certainly think that has proved to be the case." 

"Serials have been around forever. It's impossible to imagine life without them. Serial existed in newspaper form before it existed on the radio, and it existed when people sat around the campfire thousands of years before that and told stories. I can't imagine that soap operas won't continue in some form or another. It will be fun to see what those forms are."

"A Latina friend told me about a call she got from her nephew, who's 11 years old. He called up just so joyful. He said 'We're in the future, we're in the future! I saw it! I saw 'Battlestar Galactica.' For that child at that moment, seeing their culture, themselves in a position of being in the future was so needed. Like a glass of water in the middle of the desert. You are so grateful that you can't even stand it."

"New aliens are always popping up on the show; almost every episode… If I try to create something from fantasy every single time, it would be impossible. So what I have done is I have collected books from everything on Earth. I have birds. I have insects. I have reptiles. I have amphibians. I have mammals. So almost every thing you see on "Star Trek" has some connection to Earth…You will find something that's familiar in there, whether it be a chunk off a rhinoceros, a bat, or some skin-texture."

"I think one of the most essential things in acting is to show vulnerability. I think that is what people are partly attracted to in this character [Victor Newman]. He's vulnerable. He's not really tough and hard. He's vulnerable as well."
