"I took the job [on GL] knowing that I was going to jail. I didn't tell the producers I was going to jail; I didn't tell my agents; I didn't tell anybody. I just knew my wife was pregnant and I figured whatever money I could make would help.... When you're going to jail, that kind of puts it in perspective." — Jordan Clarke on his 1982 conviction and why he took the role of Billy (he was later given probation), 4/14/98

"Every once in awhile, my kids will wear one of the T-shirts from the dream sequence with Ross and Blake's [blackmail] picture on it. What's that going to do to them? 'Well, doctor, I went to bed with my father's image on my chest.' " — Jerry verDorn (Ross), 3/3/93

"Getting buried alive [as Carly on DAYS OF OUR LIVES] will always be my claim to fame, and you know what? That's fine with me. I loved it.... The whole thing was funny — the Chinese herbs, and Dr. Woo and Dr. Woo Two because they recast him, and I mean, yeah, how did she go to the bathroom, but I still loved it. And I was so excited when I made Jim Mullen's 'Hot [Sheet]' in Entertainment Weekly. I was like, 'Oh, my God, I made the "Hot" List!'" — Crystal Chappell (Olivia), 10/24/00

"I was in love with Larry Gates [ex-H.B.]. I'll admit that. My husband knows it. I really was. I remember the day we played the scenes where Reva and H.B. were breaking up. Larry said, 'This is the most unhappiest day of my life.' And I said, 'Me, too.'" — Kim Zimmer (Reva), 1/24/89

"Beth Chamberlin [Beth] and I look so much alike. Grant Aleksander [Phillip] came running up to me and said, 'Guess what, Tina? They just auditioned actresses for Beth, and there's a girl who looks just like you must have looked 20 years ago.' He meant it as a compliment, but I said, 'Thanks, Grant.' I was almost choking." — Tina Sloan (Lillian), 5/12/92
