MEMORABLE QUOTES

"We guarantee you'll wind up on a soap opera."— on what his family said when he went out to L.A., Soapcity.com

"David [Lago, Raul] and Thad [Luckinbill, J.T.] showed me around. We had a good time together. I was just trying to stay close by everybody and keep meeting as many people as I could. This was the first major event like this for me. I came out to New York once for New Year's Eve and once to screen-test for ALL MY CHILDREN, so this was the first time I got to go and enjoy myself."— on attending the Daytime Emmys for the first time, Soap Opera Weekly Online
