“I feel a special loyalty
to Jack Abbott and what
this character has done to
revolutionize the quality
of my life. Although I’d
played roles like Jack, it
wasn’t the one I’d natu-
rally cast me in.”
— Peter Bergman
(Jack, Y&R), 8/18/92VALUABLE COMMODITY
“People at B&B have
been treating me like
I’m valuable. Not that I
was devalued anywhere
else, but it’s like I’m an
established soap actor and
that’s such a compliment
and humbling.”

OLTL, 8/31/10COME ON, GET HAPPY
“I don’t understand
why some actors are snot-
ty and mean. Why can’t
they just do their job and
be happy? I don’t see what

why we’re working.”

LIVE et al), 6/29/04POINTED REMARK

“When you achieve a
certain amount of success,
it’s easy to think, ‘Have I
gotten jaded? Am I going

only thing that appeals to
me?’ It’s been really good
to find out that it isn’t the
only thing that appeals to
me.”
