Steve on "Who is the biggest prankster ?" - "Is it stupid if I say myself? If no one else says me, then I am really stupid because I acted like I was and I'm not. But it's me. " What do you want for Christmas? "I don't
want anything. I have everything I have ever wanted. A great wife, great
kids. What else do I need? Nothing! I just want to eat junk food for
Christmas." "Which character do you like playing better - Jason Quartermaine or Jason Morgan?" - (Steve) "That's like asking me do you miss your gold mullet? Is there even a choice? I do miss working with the Quartermaines though. John Engle (Edward) is back and I just worked with him for the first time since, so that was awesome." "What is your barbecue specialty dish?" - Steve says "Give me any kind of steak and chicken. I like ribs too. And hamburgers. I love food man. Whatever you've got that can be grilled, I'll grill it." "I first auditioned for AJ. Obviously, they didn't want the gold mullet for AJ, so Mark Teschner didn't hire me. Then they brought Jason back. At the time, Gerald Hopkins was playing AJ. He's about 6-feet-1 and I am 5-feet-10. Mark said "We're looking for someone similar to Gerald's height". So I went in and put paper towels in my shoes. I made sure I was his height, and it was all cool". When asked what the dumbest thing your character did this year, Steve's response was: "I can't even count. I think defusing bombs is the dumbest thing he's done. You have a brain-damaged guy who can't remember anything defusing a bomb? We did that a couple of years ago when Sonny and Jason defused a bomb and I thought, "'You're having a manic-depressive and a brain-damaged guy defuse a bomb? That's crazy!" Steve on Jason and his motorcycle: When Jason climbed back on his motorcycle recently, his wheels looked very differently than they did years ago. "Now, it's like a Honda or something" says Steve. We're short on money. It could have been like, a Vespa. They could have saved a lot of money and got me a scooter and a helmet". In real life, does Burton ride? "Do I ride? I can, but I won't. Just because I want to live and I have a daughter who needs to eat." Steve joked about telling Kelly Monaco to "make as much money as you can off this thing, (DWTS) but don't dance anywhere near me." "Before formula and food, it
was fine. But now ... if I'm telling' the truth ... I have to say that if
it's a No. 2 diaper, I might wait an extra half-hour till my wife gets
home [laughs]. I'm joking." — On changing his daughter's dirty diapers. "I didn't expect to win, because Shemar Moore (Malcolm, Y&R) is pretty hot" Steve said about winning Hottest Male Star. What's the hottest thing about him? "My wife. She's more beautiful than I am, so she makes me look good." What is your favorite vacation spot?. "Maui, Hawaii. I love it" What role on your show could you never play? "Well, it would probably be a woman. How about a role I'll never play again? Jason Q. Don't ever bring that reindeer sweater out again. I have really been damaged by that." "People not knowing their lines" is what gets on Steve's nerves What word would you use to describe your life right now? "Thankful. I have a great life" Think it's easy to look like Steve Burton? Not according to the actor who suffered a hernia during a workout. "I did it lifting weights and was not using the right technique or breathing properly. I felt like I pulled something so when I started feeling around I accidentally pushed something back into my belly button and the pain went away. When I called my doctor he was like, 'yeah, that's ok'. So I was like, 'Okay, I need a second opinion' When Steve was asked "What was the most unusual gift a fan has ever given you?" he responded "Clothing, underwear and naked pictures." "I think the definition of sexy is, confidence but not arrogance, a sense of humor and someone who won't do anything to compromise their morals and values." "Maurice and I laugh constantly. It sucks because we do this heavy stuff all the time, and we can't help laughing. Tony G is just hilarious and Brad Maule is a very funny person. He always makes me laugh." When asked if he ever used a Tele-Prompter or cue cards, he said "Heck no. You would be so shamed here, people would give you such a hard time. We pride our show on acting and if anyone even asked for a Tele-Prompter or cue cards, you would be ridiculed until you cried. It's such a lame thing, unless you are older and need it. But for a younger actor to use a Prompter for a three or four page monologue, that's inexcusable. That's not acting. You might as well be a news broadcaster." If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? "I'm messy. It's like Sanford and Son in my dressing room. My poor wife. God bless her. I've always been messy." What word does Steve say too much? "Dude! Billy Warlock said it all the time and I kind of fell into the habit of saying it. I should probably quit saying dude - right now" If you could put time in a bottle, what moment would you save forever? "My wedding day. My wife and I were talking about it recently. It went too fast. That's probably why people renew their vows." "I'm not big on watching myself" says Steve who admits that he not only doesn't watch GH, but he doesn't think he's ever seen one full episode. "Heck no, I just do my job and go home. Honestly! That's what I do! I really wouldn't care one way or another what I saw because I know that I give my best on stage and there's no reason to go back and be like, 'Oh, I could have done this here.' The pace is just too hectic to analyze that. If it was a movie and you had 20 takes, then you could do that. But here, you've just got to give it your all, your best, 100 percent every day on stage and move on." What is your vehicle? "I drive a GMC Yukon truck. Why? Because I've always wanted a truck. It's like a Blazer, one of those full sized Blazers. It's huge.. I've got a really good stereo - I like stereo systems. Anyway, I just feel safer in a truck, especially in LA. So, in case an earthquake comes, I'll just put it in four wheel drive and I can drive right outta here." |
