Memorable Quotes
"I realized it was time to get out of L.A. when I was telling [my daughter] to put a hat on or some stupid Daddy thing, and she flipped her hair and looked over her shoulder and said, 'What-ever, Daddy!' I just said, 'Noooooo!' " — Soap Opera Digest, 12/20/05
"I come from a family where every man has built his own house. They're not working-class, but they like to pretend that they're working class, hardworking, blue collar." — Digest, 8/10/04
"I'm surprised I stayed on the show for so long, actually. We never really seemed to get it together with Scott." — Digest, 9/19/00
"I was in four countries a week. It sounds amazing, and it was amazing — for a month or two. [Then] one night I woke up in a complete panic in a Swiss hotel. I was drenched in sweat. I had no idea what month it was, what day it was, what country I was in, what city I was in or why I was there." — Digest, 11/2/99
