DAYS - Who Said That?

Actors often say the darndest things during interviews. Soap Opera Weekly has compiled some of the most intriguing, telling and outrageous quotes from the cast of DAYS OF OUR LIVES. See if you can guess which Salemite, past or present, said it....

1. Commenting on his younger leading lady, this actor said: "The age difference didn't bother me all that much. I see that all the time with a lot of old farts that I know...all of them that can manage it. It all really depends on the story, and the story has been good." (2001)
a. Joseph Mascolo
b.John Aniston
c. John Ingle

2. "I would never step in out of vanity about not wanting to have an older child. That's a thing I feel is not my place. I would not go to bat over something like that. I'm not that vain." (2006)
a. Alison Sweeney
b. Lauren Koslow
c. Kristian Alfonso

3. "I'm a ham. I love being in front of people. Who wouldn't want to go up and do what Garth Brooks does for a living? It would be great." (2000)
a. Peter Reckell
b. Bryan R. Dattilo
c. Kyle Lowder

4."You have to inform your children about the world in which they live, so they, God forbid, in a scary moment, keep themselves safe. 'That is dope. Those are drugs. Here's what they do.' You teach them, so they have a knee jerk reaction to it. So when I'm not there, they can hear my words and my husband's words in their ears." (2001)
a. Kristian Alfonso
b. Melissa Reeves
c. Deidre Hall

5. "My second day I was in pasties and panties in bed. I was like, 'What am I doing here?' You want to talk about realizing your life is changing. It was, 'Hi. My name is so-and-so. Nice to meet you. Can you get naked now?'" (2007)
a. Julie Pinson
b. Annie Burgstede
c. Martha Madison

6. "I hate technology. Me and electronics don't get along so well. I almost feel like I have a curse with computers. They have a habit of breaking as soon as I touch them." (2007)
a.Darin Brooks
b. Blake Berris
c. Rachel Melvin

Blake Berris (Nick)
— NBC

7. "We were supposed to be under the covers...kind of moving and grinding. At one point the director was like, 'Uhhh, that's a little too much grinding for daytime.' But we got close. We pushed the envelope." (2005)
a. Farah Fath
b. Heather Lindell

c. Judi Evans

8. "As long as things are working okay at home, things are working okay here at work. I am fortunate to have this job that can afford me to take care of my family in such a way that makes me very proud. I don't take that lightly. Therefore, that translates into working really hard to do the best that I can, not only with the acting, but everything else that's unwritten in this job description of an actor. I'll just keep doing that until they decide my name slides off the dressing room door. Until then, it's all good." (2003)
a. Drake Hogestyn
b. Matthew Ashford
c. James Reynolds

9. "As an actor my goal is to get an Emmy nomination. In the past, I never thought my storyline or even my performance brought me to that level. But I've been working in classes twice a week. You've got to do the time to make yourself better." (2003)
a. Kyle Brandt
b. Bryan R. Dattilo
c. Jason Cook

10. "Frances (Reid, Alice) is always prepared and she questions things. She'll say, 'Wait! This is not right.' [She's taught me] to be on top of things. Don't come to work and call it in, because there are 10,000 people out there that can come in and do your job for you — and do it better." (2003)
a. Melissa Reeves
b. Kristian Alfonso

c. Kirsten Storms

11. "People think everyone in Hollywood is so high-class, living la vida loca. I'm not really like that. I get so much excitement at my job, that when I come home I want to hang out... just relax. I have no problem not going out on a Saturday night; just staying home, sitting outside, and listening to music or reading a book. Simple stuff." (1999)
a. Jason Cook
b. Jay Kenneth Johnson
c. Kevin Spirtas

12. "I like to talk about other stuff besides boys who like me, who I like, who I'm going to get [together] with, how much I drank last night. 'I'm so hung over today' and, 'Oh, my God! I'm going to get breast implants.' I'm just NOT like that. I'm very low-maintenance and easy to please." (2003)
a. Alexis Thorpe
b. Nadia Bjorlin
c. Farah Fath
