“I really want to do some good work in England as well. Going to the US has taken me out of my comfort zone; I went there because I thought they’d give me a shot, and they have. And I love it, but I’m English at heart and I never forget that.”
“I went to New York and acted there for a year, and I took on the accent thing. I took a once-a-week class for a month, which helped, with a speech therapist, and then I went back to London for a year or two and had to continue working on it. You discover a rhythm to it. I work on it every day, though. On set I’m always working on it.”
“The main thing with an accent, I’ll notice that I’m making mistakes, but once I get corrected, it’s easier. I think it’s harder for an American person to do an English accent than it is for an English person to do an American accent.”
“American girls are very endearing to me because it’s something I’m not used to. But the best type of girl is respectful, trustworthy, and honest, and you don’t get that in Hollywood. When I get back to London one day, hopefully I’ll find my belle.”
“I am a hopeless romantic. We all become Shakespeare when we fall in love. We become poets. Love letters, sending flowers – I love all that.”
“I’d rather be hurt than hurt someone else. Thats why, most of the time, I’m not the one to end the relationship. I just pick the bad girls. My grandma used to say, “Only a fool makes the same mistake twice.” But I always make the same mistake. I’m quite naive in love.”
“I like a girl who is spontaneous and happy, who wears a smile on her face. I don’t like anything too intense, too serious. I like girls who can enjoy themselves. That’s the most fun, because we’re only on the earth for such a small time, you’ve got to have fun!”
“It’s funny, the first take I burst out laughing because Zane Holtz’s reaction was so good. It was great! Our director did it before lunch so we didn’t have to deal with each other’s breath.”
“Truly, we feel so blessed, as a cast. I can’t tell you what a joy it is to work with each and every one of them, and they all feel the same. It’s just a pleasure. We’ve got a great script, and it continues to grow, and everyone’s thrilled to work hard and learn. I think it’s a cocktail for success. I hope so, anyway.”
“As an actor, I’m concentrating on the real love story between those two. It is going to get harder for her, because he’s such a good guy. He’s a gent. He’s not like his mother, he’s not like his father. He’s not into the shady gossip or dark secrets.”
“Daniel is this person who catches Emily off her guard because he’s not the person she thought he was off the surface… It’s this kind of classic return to these kind of soap operas where it’s much more than a guilty pleasure.”
“Daniel’s not like his family, and he wants to be a good person, and he’s met this beautiful woman that he’s fallen head over heels in love with. It’s difficult for her to continue to lie. In the end, she’s not a bad person. It’s difficult to side with one party. It’s difficult, but I think she’s going to have a tougher job than she thinks… but I have no idea.”
“Daniel’s whole makeup is that he wants to get away from that sort of status in the Hamptons and what he’s been pushed…to be doing. That’s what Conrad and Victoria want him to be, this golden boy son. But he hates that. He doesn’t want to conform. I guess he’s a reformed bad boy.”
“She’s got this mission she has to carry out, and I’m part of that, and it’s going to be harder for her than it should’ve been. Daniel’s so honest and he’s never felt this way about someone before. He’s very much got his heart on the table, saying ‘This is me, let’s make this something beautiful.’”
“Tyler is gonna be an interesting addition to the cast, for sure. He’s gonna throw a big curveball at everyone. Definitely me for sure.”
“Daniel is a trapped bird in a cage that wants to get out. In a lot of the scenes with Daniel’s parents, I have this image of me being held down, with a ball and chain strapped to my ankle. He can’t get off the ground but is dying to. Daniel is looking at things for the first time – especially with Emily.”
“That body very well might not be Daniel. It’s possible that it’s someone else. I certainly hope it’s someone else. I’d love to keep working on the show, so I hope it’s not Daniel.”
“Daniel is going through a lot of emotions he’s never experienced before. He’s nothing like his parents, nothing like his family. He’s different. He’s very honest with himself, with her and he just wants to be his own person, instead of following the path his parents want him to go down.”
“I don’t know that Daniel ever figures out he’s being manipulated, but he doesn’t take much s***. There’s a few times you’ll see over the next few episodes where he doesn’t roll over. And I would like to say that the apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.”
