FOR EVANS' SAKE....
"I'd rather die than sit around waiting for my next job. It's the worst, especially when you live with somebody who goes off to work every day and you stand there saying, 'Well ... well ... bye!' It's tough when it's never you that's leaving first." — Soap Opera Digest, 10/7/86

"I don't care if it's daytime, nighttime, movies or Taco Bell. I just want to work." — Digest, 1/31/95

"Working in a [TV] studio is like going to work in somebody's garage. A lot of times, you don't really see people other than the ones you work with, so you don't see the impact [of your work] on the outside world." — on being oblivious to the popularity of DAYS's Kayla and Patch, Digest, 3/30/99

"We'd be like Grandma and Grandpa Horton by the time we ever get back there. And I don't know how that Patch is going to look when he's 80!" — on one day reprising her role as Kayla with Stephen Nichols as Patch, Weekly, 4/24/01

"Even the best characters here will go off and have an affair, and I think that's fabulous. It makes them a little more human." — on General Hospital, Weekly, 4/23/96

YOU SHOULD HEAR WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT YOU!
"Sometimes we're a little too friendly even when we're in scenes that are not so friendly. When there's a lot more tension happening, we have to watch ourselves on that, and get stuff created before we go on the set." — Stephen Nichols (Steve, DAYS) on his relationship with Evans, Digest, 2/23/88

"She is a lot funnier than I am. I'm only funny when I feel like it, but she's funny all the time. You know, the makeup room is a good gauge of who's liked and who isn't because the hair and makeup people have to be in there all day and watch everyone come in and go out with all their bulls--t. And I've got to say, hands down, that Mary Beth is the absolute favorite." — Stephen Nichols Digest, 3/30/99
