I love daytime television.

I've met so many fans of daytime television who've watched the shows with their moms and grandmas and feel like they've known the characters their whole lives. It's sad for them to have to say goodbye to their favorite soaps and characters. We don't want that to happen to the 'Days' fans.

'Happy Days' is the type of show that represents the best we can be. It's something warm, something tactile when life was good and life was simple.

I was joking the other day about how my real life feels like a TV show, and my TV life feels real - because, to be on Thursday nights on NBC, which is what I grew up with, has been such a big part of inspiring me. To be part of that tradition is really completely surreal, and I'm so grateful.

That's what I loved about show business, no two days were alike. It's an exciting life.

Daytime has been successful all these years because it caters to a very real need in the audience - to see something that's not nighttime fantasy. People watch daytime because it's like their lives.

Any day acting is an amazing day.

I always wanted to be known as the Norman Rockwell of television, and 'Happy Days' represented the part of me that wanted to make mainstream America laugh.

I was a big fan of 'Days of Our Lives' growing up.

I have nothing but admiration for the actors on soap operas. It is unbelievably challenging to put out an hour show in one day.
