I'm actually really excited to be off of 'General Hospital' because I know God orders my steps, and this only means He has a new adventure for me.

Good music tells a story that people relate to.

I'm really excited about 'Mingle All the Way'. Obviously I love Christmas, I love Christmas music, and the idea of becoming part of someone's positive memories from Christmas because they watch the movie -- I think that's the greatest thing.

I grew up in Virginia, where Hallmark Channel is king. So I'm really excited to join the holiday family.

I would say that 98 percent of the time you are not going to get the role you are going after. I think that can be very discouraging.

I feel like whether or not they admit it, everyone watches Hallmark.

Now that I do so many Hallmark Channel movies I am recognized in public all of the time.

I am extremely active in the foster care crisis in this country. Everything that I do is pretty much with the end goal of trying to make a difference in the lives of the children in foster care.

But I did get to see the Notre-Dame cathedral, which was really special to me. I'm completely heartbroken over the fire, but I'm really glad that they're gonna be able to salvage it.

Alex Zamm is probably the most talented director I've ever worked with. He is so good at working with actors and crew and setting up his shots.

Let's say your child spills his or her milk, and it's the only milk you have left, and it seems you're at the end of your rope, just remember: that milk is already spilled. There is no sense in making a sad situation more stressful.

A great foster parent can end the cycle of abuse and neglect, and impact not just the foster child's life, but also that child's future children's lives, the lives of people who would otherwise be victims of a lost foster child's crimes, and help end human trafficking and homelessness.

Fostering is the most worthwhile and selfless act of love you can ever imagine. The children will teach you so much about your own life.

I would love to have my own fashion line. I love modest clothing that's still flirty.

I like psychological thrillers but when it's demonic, there's no uplifting message.

I pursue God on a daily basis, I'm not stepping into oblivion.

I don't want to be the next hottest thing, I want longevity.

I would say asking for help, which is something I'm not really good at. I think a lot of Type A personalities aren't! Recognizing that you can't do it all and you can try but the main priority is prioritizing joy.

But we're open to adopting any children that come to our door.

With foster care, you have to remain unbiased, which is one of the huge challenges of it because you get to know the kids and if you care about the kids, it's really hard to present yourself as unbiased. But you're supposed to really be an unbiased party.

Growing up, my family was like an unofficial foster home. My dad was a judge and my mom was a director of a women and children's charity.

I love being a part of Hallmark and being able to provide people with some sort of 'mini-vacation' from reality. It's fantastic.

Hallmark Channel treats their actors and actresses with utmost respect. Their scripts remind of me of why entertainment exists in the first place: escape.

I do most of the cooking at home, and both my mom and my mother-in-law are excellent chefs. However, I wouldn't call myself a chef.

No, my husband Jason is the sweetest, kindest, most secure man I know. Jason knows he's had my heart for over 14 years, and it's his forever.
