#Quote
1[Of herself along with Michele Lee]: When two characters or two actresses are together for a while there is bound to be chemistry developing. I think Michele and Joan do adore one another, and the writers saw something between the lines there, and they wrote toward that. I didn't even know Michele before we started the show but we became great friends, and still are.
2You've got to realize that any lady on a soap is devoting her life to it, 24/7.
3When you're on a long running series, you reach a very rarefied, high oxygen area and after a while to keep a show on the air they have to make some very drastic changes.
4[on her religion]: I'm Presbyterian and I don't go to church very much.
5[on a long-running prime-time soap opera]: What I'm surprised at this time around is how emotional it's been. And I'm getting all verklempt even now.
6[When her series' star and best friend Michele Lee, who played Karen Fairgate MacKenzie, became a director on Knots Landing (1979)]: She just sort of picked, cause Michele has the director vibe in her, and she just picked some scenes that, you know, were just - not generic - but signature Knots kind of scenes, and I was just in awe of the work. I mean, there was one that I did see because I watched the first maybe fifteen minutes of the reunion, and there was a scene where I got married to Ben where Ted said, 'May I kiss the bride?'
7[on why its time for another Knots Landing (1979) reunion show] They want to see if we're in wheelchairs and walkers yet.
