Susan Lucci Quotations

I love spaghetti and meatballs... I eat a lot.

Life goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running will thrive. They have millions of loyal viewers.

You know what my greatest personal stumbling block is? My shyness.

My grandsons really love my apple cake, which is from my grandmother's recipe.

I am the luckiest actress on the planet.

I married somebody who is very secure. He's been in my corner from the time we met, and we grew in this together.

It took awhile for me to get used to speaking candidly about my own life. I got into it, and it turned out to be a wonderful experience.

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.

My parents were both from extremely different backgrounds. My father's Italian, my mother was of Swedish descent. They're both first-generation Americans.

Erica Kane was a spectacular role for any actress to play, and I felt so lucky to be the one who got to do it.

People always ask me, how do you do everything you do?

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.

It was such a thrill to see my photo on a mobile billboard. What a super promotional tool!

I'm lucky that I hooked up with my husband because he not only helps me but there's a joy for him as well. He enjoyed this part of me when we met. He was never threatened by it, by a woman who wanted a career. In fact, I think he prefers this, that I have a life as well. And I know my children have always known that they came first.

It is hard sometimes to look into the future, you never know what twist and turn the school of life is going to take.

I want you to know how I feel about my Italian heritage, so I'd like to say a few words in Italian: Verdi, Pavarotti, DiMaggio, Valentino, De Niro, Giuliani. . .

I somehow instinctively knew it would be much better to win.
