MEMORABLE QUOTES
Her Two Cents
"I remember the first time I had to do [a kissing scene]; I was biting my fingernails and chewing lots of gum. But it isn't all that bad." — on her first make-out scene, soapoperaweekly.com
"I asked my mom to get me a manager, and after a lot of nagging, I finally started auditioning. It wasn't until four years into it that I started booking things and it started picking up. I found myself on THIRD WATCH. It was exciting to realize I started something and it took on a life of its own." — on launching her acting career, Soap Opera Weekly, 3/6/07
In Other's Words
"Bonnie is the most grounded young woman I have ever met, and it comes through in her work. In the scenes we have had together, I've seen what she is capable of doing, and it will make for excellent television in her years to come." — Ricky Paull Goldin (Jake, ALL MY CHILDREN; ex-Gus, GL)
