I haven't wanted to play a mother for a long time because I am one.

I am now at an age when they wanted me to play her mother.

Being a mother, singer and actress is a definite juggling act, but I don't think I would be comfortable any other way.

The kids can see that there are more parts to me than just being their mom; I wear a couple of different hats and have other roles to play.

As an actor, it's a very strange adjustment to start playing the father. I was used to playing a kid my whole life, and then all of a sudden, it's like, boom. I guess when I let my hair go grey, things changed.

A lesser complaint: hair extensions. There are moments on 'All My Children' when half the women actors, young and old, seem to be afflicted by android Barbie creep. All those thick swatches of lifeless strands clustering lankly round ladies' necks! Like orange tanning spray, this is a fashion fad that should be put out of its misery.

Right now, I do not like kids at all. I mean, I love my fans and everything, but when you have kids following you around all day, it's like, 'Ugh, kids!' Maybe that will change when I get older.

I'm not really sick of people whipping their hair. It doesn't really get old. They're fans and I love them! It's just a fun game to play.

I love playing moms. It's a lot easier than being a mom, I hear.
