Mark Consuelos

“I'm pure old-school Cardinals fan.”

“We found that our kids enjoy those simple adventures we take as a family. I'm driving, my wife's the copilot and we give one kid a choice of what they want to go do. We eat a lot of bad food and sleep in some interesting hotels.”

“With most good scripts and good shows, they expect the actor to bring some of their ideas to the backstory of the character. It's always a good collaboration between the actor and the writer and the director to try stuff out during the process.”

“Any time you get a chance to do something different or get away from your appearance or get away from what people are used to seeing, I think it's always good.”

“There are certain projects that you love to be involved in, no matter what the capacity, and there are certain projects that I probably wouldn't even consider getting behind.”

“I think every actor would probably say that it's always a collaboration. And if you ask directors, they'll tell you that they expect the actors to bring something. They don't want to be thinking for everybody.”

“I'm doing 'I Hate My Teenage Daughter' with Katie Finneran and Jaime Pressly.”

“The Yankees are my team.”

“I'm claustrophobic. I can't go into haunted houses. They have these tight, dark, enclosed space. I freak out. That's my phobia. It gets me out of stuff. Someone asks me to do something and I tell them I can't because I'm claustrophobic.”

“If we can survive being married and working on a soap together, commuting back and forth when we lived in New Jersey, and we didn't get divorced then, we're never gonna get divorced.”

“I'm bananas over my wife.”

“I like things to have rules, I like order and I like schedules.”

“When you're a parent, you're automatically the most uncool person that exists.”

“Sometimes we're at hotels, and I'll answer the phone. They'll say, 'Mr. Ripa, your breakfast is coming upstairs.' And I'm like, Is my father-in-law here? But, obviously, I'm proud either way - Ripa or Consuelos.”

“I retweet. I do retweet a lot. I don't have a lot of very original things to say.”

“To me, marriage has nothing to do with anybody but me and my wife.”

“As a father, you immediately become uncool, especially the older they get. The older you get, it's inevitable that, as cool as you think you are, you're probably just as lame in your kids' eyes.”

“I have career ADD, he says. I have career dissatisfaction. Even as a young kid, I'd have that. I'd get really passionate about something and then I'd realize, 'I don't want to do that!”

“I've played a lot of jerks, actually - my daughter seems to think there's a trend there, but I'm not so sure!”

“People always ask me, 'Why did your wife take that extra job?' What they don't know is that four out of five days a week she's going to be home having dinner with us by five o'clock.”
