Obviously, you check tht she's safe, she's clean, got all the fingers and toes, like that's going to help them through life. It'll help them walk, but you can't pull them out and check their IQ or anything.

What's the point of being negative or fearful? We can't control it.

Melissa and I have the best working relationship, and we feel that Jack and Jennifer have so much more to do.
earlier eat instead kids run
Now we go out to eat earlier - at 5 p.m. instead of 9 p.m. It's better that way, especially when you have little kids who want to run around.
You have to be awake at 6 a.m., when everyone else is asleep.

With Jack, I was always trying to find the positive because they always wrote the negative. I didn't have to be menacing. The music did it for me.

When you arrive at the set, you go from one rehearsal to the next and you struggle to get your lines out correctly and hit your marks.

It confirms for me that we did something on Days that meant something. We had our ups and downs, but Missy and I and some of the other actors, created something that was really memorable.

L.A. is not a town that supports a lot of theater. Most of the shows don't get through a week or two and then, the audience kind of disappears.

It ended up being a very good thing, because they finally started writing for the character, and I realized that you have to go to work with a purpose. I learned from the experience and then moved on.
alienate support
Christina never called me names, which was very sweet. She said I was the only person there to support her, so she didn't want to alienate me.
