Justin Hartley

“It's all about story and character with me, and I don't care if the job is on daytime or prime time or the web. Hey, give me a good character and someone to listen, and I'll do my acting on a street corner.”

“Work begets work. I've always taken the jobs - I've tried to take the jobs where the story is full or the characters are full.”

“Anytime you can get people to watch you on anything, it's very flattering.”

“Had more confidence than I probably should have in high school. But I do remember feeling like I wish I could physically mature a little faster, fill out. In college it started to happen a little bit more, and my confidence started to grow - then I got out to L.A., and that got squashed immediately.”

“I channel a lot of my own personal relationships anytime I prep for something.”

“On my last two days of 'Young and the Restless,' I had 120-something pages of dialogue. My last two days.”

“I'm always going to be looking for something artistically or whatever. I think that's part of being driven, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm unhappy.”

“I love acting, and so whenever I get the opportunity to act, I'm happy. I'm easy to please when it comes to that kind of stuff. I don't know what I'd do without it.”

“Unfortunately, I know very little about Indian cinema. I know we have Bollywood... But my knowledge about it is very little.”

“I've taken a lot of risks as far as turning down money to do something I guess I thought was more meaningful. But I don't know if that's the best piece of advice, because I've also struggled with money, when I could have had a little more if I'd just taken the damn job.”

“I think any time you have a show that, after you watch it, it sort of sits with you for a while, and you take pause and you talk about it, yeah, it affects your life.”

“I mean, 15 - that is such a pivotal time in a young man's life.”

“My mother always told me, 'Don't make women cry.'”

“I worked all through my 20s, all through my 30s, so I've been lucky to be working.”

“Anytime you go through a divorce, you're completely lost. Whether you want to admit it or not, or whether you know it or not, you're completely lost.”

“I have great respect for daytime drama. I love the branding. I love the style. What can I say? I love good soap!”

“I always tell people this; when they say, 'What's gonna happen here? What's gonna happen here?' I always tell people, 'You think you want to know, but you really don't. You want to experience the event as it happens on TV.'”

“This is not just like a job. This is like a dream come true!”

“One of the things I wanted to do was direct. There've been a couple of times that a director will walk up and say something to me, and all it does is make me mad. Inside I'll go, 'Well, that wasn't helpful at all.'”

“'Y&R' is the No. 1 show, and the acting company is exceptional.”
