- I decided right then and there, I would do anything I could to get a soap job. Besides, I like having a job. A routine, a commitment, somewhere I have to be everyday. And I was thinking about the whole 'You're not an artist unless you're a starving artist' thing - and then I thought, 'The hell with that!' Once I decided to go for a soap job and make a commitment to it, I got extremely lucky."- on why she got into soaps, Soap Opera Weekly, August 20, 1991
- "I was scared to death about doing it, but I was dealing with a great personal life and could afford to put all of my energy into the work. Janet suddenly opened all these doors to acting freedom, the freedom to experiment and play. I began to think about outside work really seriously for the first time in a while." - on taking on a dual role and what led her to leave AMC, Weekly, August 18, 1992.
- Janet's not unattractive...she's just neglected herself. That's my definition of her state. She's a fireplug, too, and she's bitter - Janet's carrying a lot of emotional baggage. Janet is very jealous of Natalie and all that Natalie has acquired. You know - sibling rivalry at its very best."- on Janet's introduction to AMC, Soap Opera Weekly, August 20, 1991
