- when asked what his favorite SOD cover was
"A well-known actor once said to me: 'When I do a scene and shed a tear, if I've done my
job well, people all over the world in movie houses shed a tear with me, and in that moment
we are one.' ."
"I love acting. When I'm connected, it's almost as good as meditation. I need to feel that
connection."
"The best part of being on the show [Days] was, of course, working with and becoming
friends with Mary Beth Evans. The first time I met Mary Beth was at her screentest. We
had already seen between 16-20 actresses...there were only two actresses this night,
and Mary Beth was one of them. After we did the scene, she said, 'That was sh*t and
walked away. I knew right away that she was my kind of actress."

"When you have a baby to work with, there is so much life there in front of you. It's better than five of the best actors you can think of to work with. One little baby who doesn't even talk is better than five great actors. You can work off a child all day long. It's my favorite thing — to work with a baby....besides Mary Beth, of course."

"Well, when he (Aaron) came, Vanessa was about two years four months old. At first she said (Stephen reverts to baby talk) ‘Oh, wook at his tiny little fingies.' That's really the way she talked. He was about two months old and she said, ‘Well, I think we could just throw him off the balcony.' It's like matter of fact."
