Personal Quotes

I'm really not bitter, but in my last years on As The World Turns, I was quite bored. I was disappointed with the direction in which they took my character and storyline. I'd continue to get the most mail on the show and yet, near the end, I was hardly ever on. [1992]

I do appreciate the fact that the show [As The World Turns] helped me to build up a strong fan following. But I'm not sure that being on As The World Turns did anything for me as far as moving up the career ladder. It was a part of my personal stepladder, though, in that the training I got helped me to learn lines quickly. I also developed a great understanding of camera techniques and lighting. [1992]

I wish I could say that I keep in touch with other people on the show, [As The World Turns] but I don't. I have nothing against talking to them, but I've made new friends and have no particular interest in reconnecting with the people I used to work with. [1992]

[regarding his friendship with actress Alyssa Milano] We're friends. I don't date her. We've been friends for almost eight years. Our dynamic is a non-sexual one. It's kind of ludicrous, I guess. I love her very much, though. [1996]

[regarding filming Once Upon A Time In America] I was a kid, unaware of the stakes or what was expected. I might as well have been doing a school play, because to me, Sergio Leone was just a fat man who ate a lot and had a really cool accent. NOW I understand he's a master artist who I was lucky to be in the presence of and directed by. [1996]

The first thing I think about when I think about my eyes is that they're better than 20/20 and they can see. The last thing would be the color. I'm not interested in hunky [roles]. I've been breaking that mold all along, and I think it may finally be broken. [July 2002]
