On পাঠ করা with her daighter Charlotte:
"We spend a lot of time reading. We read in the morning when she wakes up. She'll usually bring me a book, and we have a thing where she's only allowed one book at a time. So she knows if she wants to change books, she has to take the book, put it away, and bring out the other one. So we usually read one অথবা two in the morning, when
she's getting up, and throughout the দিন she likes to pretend and read to herself, and then I read to her before her nap, and we always read at night."
On her alltime favourite book:
"I do প্রণয় Time Traveler's Wife, which I guess kind of is a romance novel, in a sense. I প্রণয় Shadow on the Wind. I প্রণয় Dr. Seuss's Oh, the Places You'll Go! And I gotta say, I প্রণয় me some Valley of the Dolls."
On her পছন্দ kinds of books:
"I প্রণয় বই so much, people expect me to be a book snob, and I'm not. I'll read anything. I প্রণয় biographies. I প্রণয় fiction. I প্রণয় classics. I'll pretty much read anything, except I'm not a big romance novel person. I can do Jodi Picoult, I can go there. My পরবর্তি book on my তালিকা I want to finish is Audrey Niffenegger, Her Fearful Symmetry."
On Charlotte's পছন্দ book:
"Well, this week it's Hop on Pop."
On finding time to read:
"To me, that's my relaxation. I don't get the stimulation that I get from বই from television, the same way my brain works, and so at night, I'll get into বিছানা and I'll read off the bat. Living in New York again for so long, the subway was great for reading. I read in the car on the 405 [in L.A.] Traffic's so bad, I have plenty of time."
On her পছন্দ book-to-movie adaptations:
"I think they did a wonderful job with the Harry Potter series. Having read the first three before the first movie came out, I thought there's no way it can be as great as my mind wants it to be. But I have to say, I think they've done a pretty spectacular job with it."
On the cancellation of "All My Children," which she starred on from 1993 to 1995:
"I'm very upset about that. First of all, they had the audacity to বাতিল it on my birthday. So let's have that discussion. I think it's criminal. I remember pretending to be sick when I was younger and staying প্রথমপাতা and like watching the ABC soap lineup in bed. And I realize it's
tough economic times and it wasn't necessarily financially working, but there has to be a way to make it work. And these shows have been on for 40 years. I'm sorry, [but] I don't see either one of these shows they're replacing with it lasting আরো than a year. I really don't, and I say that with confidence. And I think, I don't think they tried hard enough to save the genre. And, it's just devastating to me."
On her পছন্দ memories from working on "All My Children":
"My বন্ধু that I made: Kelly Ripa, Eva La Rue, Sidney Penny. I still speak to these women all the time. I made amazing friends, and it was one of the greatest training grounds I ever could have asked for."
On coming back for the finale:
"I'm waiting for the call. I would. I absolutely would. My phone is not ringing. I think it has to be আরো like a bartender অথবা something because there is someone that plays my character now. She does an amazing job with it, and it is her character now, so I'd have to play someone else. I could be the UPS man!"
