UNCENSORED QUOTES OF THE WEEK:

Playing Adam is like Baskin-Robbins and 31 flavors. How could you pick one flavor? I enjoy the whole store. If you’re an actor and you’re offered the part of Othello, you take it.

--Y&R’s Michael Muhney in WATCH Magazine

Translation: But I come in one flavour — and that’s delicious!

My dad’s advice has always been: 'Don’t do it. Become a doctor. Become a lawyer.' He didn’t want me to be heartbroken because he knew it was a tough business. It compelled me to go for it even harder.

--Jennifer Aniston on her father John Aniston in THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

Translation: Brad Pitt took care of the heartbreak in my life.

‘THE REVOLUTION has tanked and it’s our hope that Katie Couric’s show will replace it. I mean you hear rumors but we haven’t been canceled.

--WGA winner (and former GH writer) Karen Harris in THE DETROIT NEWS

Translation: Hire me back, Frank Valentini!

Did you ever notice some people on Twitter sound like broken records? Did you ever notice some people on Twitter sound like bro-- Watch #GH!

--Ron Carlivati on Twitter

Translation: Stop tweeting me about Liason,
