Priscilla: Daytime TV is a great way to polish your tools as an actor and keep them polished for other jobs.

Priscilla: (on marriage) I'm very old-fashioned in that respect. I want to hold true to the words of "till death do us part." And I know that's a big thing to try to hold on to. If things go wrong, you have to let go. I hear divorce is at 60 percent. I hold on to that girl who thinks Mommy and Daddy will be together forever. I would love to be married and I would love to be a mother of several babies. Maybe two or three, but all when the timing is right. I want to be as prepared as I can be and try to be the best mom I can. Some day, hopefully.

Priscilla: (on moving from New York to California) It was a hard adjustment that first year. I am not going to lie, I cried a lot!
(edit)
Priscilla: (on getting her hair cut extremely short for her role on "Sunset Beach") I felt very vulnerable and very closed off. I wanted to crawl in a hole and hibernate until it grew!
(edit)
Priscilla: I really wanted to be an actress but I didn't think my parents would accept that. I thought, well, I have to make them proud of me and make lots of money and I guess I'm good at math so I'll do marketing. And I hated it, I hated it, I hated it.
