“I get to show all that disgusting, gross part of the industry. My character goes through a crazy process, where he thinks he's found part of the American dream, and has to do things that he wouldn't in a regular job. It's very impacting and really raw.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“Those who say, 'Well, she was just a drunk,' will get an understanding of what her demons were, what drove her and why she was the way she was.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“I have such fond memories of Annabelle ... just her whole personality, ... We loved to make her laugh; her laugh made us laugh.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“She was Daddy's good little girl. That was of that era. She's not ditzy. She's very intelligent. And innocent to the ways of (Earth) that the men had come from.” (Sockman Ralph W.)

“I loved the character, but the challenge, to me, became making this character exactly new and modern in exactly the same behavior and language that was already done, ... Because she wanted to be married, she wanted to risk everything to be with this man, and oftentimes, women are so willing to give and give and give and give, and actually receive so little. And this guy comes in once every couple of weeks and has sex with her in a motel room. This is not a guy to steal $400,000 for.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
Yes, I know I've played these women, but I'm not really conniving at all. (Sockman Ralph W.)
I started out playing this woman from the deep, and I went on doing it... forever. (Sockman Ralph W.)
“It was great for that to be my first movie with such a wonderful cast, and such a huge movie. And now I get to do The Fighting Temptations, which is coming out soon--it wasn't much of a character, it was more of a real person, so I got to show more of my acting range.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“I don't see him as a total nerd, ... I think he's a regular guy who got freaked out about sex early on, because people do. And I think he's just kind of a normal guy who collects action figures.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“If you give a character room to breathe, they come alive.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“Emily Mortimer is skinny and beautiful, and she's not self-obsessed.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“I would assume most people hate my character. But I'm hoping that I'm the character you love to hate.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
I don't mind playing the same character, but if it's not well done, then I'm not interested. (Sockman Ralph W.)
“I thought, God, it's a strong person who says, 'Yes, you can take my name and you can do with it what you want,' ... I wanted to create a character who would be able to say that, because I know that I wouldn't.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
Both of the main characters in My First Mister remind me of Sylvie. I'm very attracted to people who are not in the mainstream, people who are on the edges, lonely people I guess. (Sockman Ralph W.)
“Abby would do things that weren't very ethical, but she was never evil. She had a humanity that characters like her on the other soaps didn't have.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
If you can laugh at me in that character, you can laugh at your own mother or mother-in-law, and you need to do that sometime in life. (Sockman Ralph W.)
“I've gone very far, far away, but my character keeps me close to home.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
I think all my characters are vulnerable even if they have a toughness on the outside of them. The tougher they are, the more vulnerable they are. (Sockman Ralph W.)
“I didn't really base my characterization on anybody, ... I don't really work that way when I played a role. I find the parts of myself that the character has. I believe we all have everything within us, the ability to be a killer or the girlfriend of an insect. It was finding those parts of myself that I felt could serve the character of Mackenzie.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“I played this character twice in live action, and now I've become an animated character. It was actually fun to see myself drawn -- I've never been a drawn character before.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“Josh was mortified in the beginning, but now he's completely hooked. I want to sit down, and I want to laugh. Nothing works better for me than watching somebody slip on a banana peel.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“One thing I found hard to get scripted was the size of her ego. Her ego was so huge. She was about being the queen, and everybody had better treat her as the queen. I am not like that.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
“Claire is a role that easily could be unsympathetic and one-dimensional, but the always wonderful Davis softens her intrusiveness with genuine concern for her sister.” (Sockman Ralph W.)
If you compare my character to the others, they were sexy with designer clothes. I had the nerdy outfit. (Sockman Ralph W.)
