I don't have a twin, but I do have a brother and sisters, and I do know that there is a special bond there that is - I'm going to say - closer. It's different. It's closer than having a best friend. It's easier to forgive them. I think it's also easier to get mad at them. You feel a little piece of yourself in them.
— Justin Hartley
It's called 'A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius' by Dave Eggers. It is absolutely everything the title implies. It's the greatest book I've ever.
Anytime you can get people to watch you on anything, it's very flattering.
Certainly my time on 'Revenge' was great; it was a different character I'd never played before.
I think any actor can relate to the feeling of 'Just tag me in, coach, give me a chance.' Athletes go through the same thing. To be quite honest, most people in any job or career probably go though that, when you want a chance to prove what you can do, or somebody is taking away a chance at something you can do.
I worked all through my 20s, all through my 30s, so I've been lucky to be working.
I'm a dog lover. With the holidays, everything gets a little bit hectic. There's a lot on your mind, and maybe you forget that your animals also feel that stress as well. So try to keep them on the same routine; try to keep the chocolate out of their mouth.
I don't know - I think guys don't get as much credit as they deserve sometimes for how hard it is to put a great look together. It's so easy to just do a 'suit,' but to make it look a little different, it takes some effort.
I love 'Friends.' I've seen every one probably 37,000 times, but I can watch 'Friends' all night. You just forget how amazing it was!
On a soap opera, you'll do an episode and a half a day, and in prime time television, you're hustling to get an episode done in eight days. That's a little bit frustrating sometimes. But there's also something exhilarating about it. It's kind of like live theater in a way, where you get one crack at it.
I think any time you have a show that, after you watch it, it sort of sits with you for a while, and you take pause and you talk about it, yeah, it affects your life.
I'm no Zac Efron.
She calls me Aquaman, which is kind of embarrassing, having your daughter call you the name of a canceled show. When she's being a little smarty-pants, she calls me Justin.
'Y&R' is the No. 1 show, and the acting company is exceptional.
I always tell people this; when they say, 'What's gonna happen here? What's gonna happen here?' I always tell people, 'You think you want to know, but you really don't. You want to experience the event as it happens on TV.'
It's weird. You find a safe place in someone who you feel like maybe they can't judge you because they don't know you.
I can tell you that good people do bad things.
I try to be as calm and as reassuring and a rock to my daughter as I possibly can be. I try to teach her everything that I never knew when I was her age, and I try to give her all the advantages and the things that I didn't have when I was her age.
A TV show besides 'This is Us' that makes me cry? Not a shocker, but 'Game of Thrones.'
Work begets work. I've always taken the jobs - I've tried to take the jobs where the story is full or the characters are full.
On my last two days of 'Young and the Restless,' I had 120-something pages of dialogue. My last two days.
I'm always going to be looking for something artistically or whatever. I think that's part of being driven, but that doesn't necessarily mean I'm unhappy.
I've certainly been to Hollywood parties, and I have friends that are ridiculous - wonderful people - but they're high rollers with tons of money.
I try to look clean, but I like a balance between put-together and comfortable.
I don't know if I have a specific style icon.
'Game of Thrones' is a good one to binge-watch, except you realize at the end of every episode that you've been holding your breath for, like, 30 minutes, which is probably not good for your brain.
It's aggravating to me when you meet people that are just... you know, there's a difference between wanting to be an actor or a writer or something creative, and just wanting to be seen.
God bless Jackie Briskey for hiring me back then when I had no idea what I was doing.
You mess up as a dad, and you have your worst moments.
When you see someone at 6 in the morning with a smile on their face, you know they're having fun.
I became interested in 'Smallville' when 'Aquaman' was not picked up and my mortgage was due. Kidding. The real reason is that it was an easy decision.
This is not just like a job. This is like a dream come true!
I mean, 15 - that is such a pivotal time in a young man's life.
There's death and there's loss, but there's also celebrations, right?
Being an actor, you go through this thing where you want to be the best, and I think, in life in general, you go through this thing where you want to be the best always, constantly.
There's nothing worse when you have a job, and you read something, and you're like, 'God. How am I possibly going to make this work?'
I have a little bit of experience going in and playing a character - I played a character on 'Smallville' that had been established for decades and decades before I took it.
That New York energy, when you've got the benefit of great weather, it really is terrific. You look up at that skyline, and the Empire State Building is literally in your eyesight - there's nothing like that.
Anytime you go through a divorce, you're completely lost. Whether you want to admit it or not, or whether you know it or not, you're completely lost.
I have a wonderful wife who loves me, who's fantastic, who's just the thrill of my life - intriguing and mind-blowing.
I love Dolce & Gabbana. I've always liked them a lot - they seem to fit me well.
I love me some Martin Sheen.
I have the greatest fans. I have fans that come from soap opera world. I have fans that come from superhero world, which are a whole different section of fans. They're so cool. When people are fanatical about something, it's contagious.
Unfortunately, I know very little about Indian cinema. I know we have Bollywood... But my knowledge about it is very little.
I was the worst actor, but here's the cool thing about it: I had no idea.
I'm a firm believer in staying out of the way. When you're on a team and the guy's throwing a no-hitter, you don't talk to them. You let them do their thing.
Had more confidence than I probably should have in high school. But I do remember feeling like I wish I could physically mature a little faster, fill out. In college it started to happen a little bit more, and my confidence started to grow - then I got out to L.A., and that got squashed immediately.
I'm second, and so my brother is first. Being second, sometimes you get left out and all of that. The anecdotal stories about the firstborn, the baby, the middle - all of that is true.
If I bring my work home, it's wonderful.
I'm fortunate enough that I have my father in my life, but I would imagine losing your father at 15, 16, 17 is a lot different than losing your father at 36, 37, 38.
