Personal Quotes (2)

"Macon is my home. When I was growing up, it was pretty small. Now, it's the second-largest city in Georgia. But being Georgia, that's not really too large." - Soap Opera Digest, Aug. 26, 2003.

Honestly, and you're not going to believe this, the last time I really got angry was when I was 15-1/2 years old. My dad had told me six months before that when I was 15-1/2, he was going to let me start dating. Then, I turned 15-1/2, this guy asked me out, but my dad wouldn't let me go. That's when I got angry. - Soap Opera Weekly, July 27, 2004
