I was certain I was going to do something in sports.

Acting is about acting, not about being a movie star.

I'm very competitive.

Being on daytime TV has its benefits. You can still have a life and you know you have a check coming every week.

Working with my new coach has helped a lot. I've been a lot more focused and I'm doing all the little things in order to get faster. It's been a total lifestyle change really.

Leaving GH was not my choice. I wanted to stay and work out a deal, and that was not an option to me.

The key is to keep improving. I'm not there yet. I know I have to keep trying to improve and keep trying to get faster.

One thing I savor about what I do is the relationships that I've earned over the years. Becky Herbst and I have been working together for 17 years. I've seen how everything has evolved over the years, and I've seen all three of her kids being born. Because it's personal, I would have to say I'd like to see him with Elizabeth.
