[When Jeanne Cooper was the last of the Daytime divas to be around, when nobody else wasn't, until her own death in 2013]: First of all, she's an extraordinary woman, people loved working with her and she's a consummate professional and she delivers, everytime; and most importantly, the fans love her. I think that's really the key thing here is that it's because of all of you that Jeanne is still on the show and so popular, and because you know what it is, so, you can say, really thanks to you, to all of you, for supporting her and working her on the show and because you make the show, what it is.

[on her on- and off-screen chemistry with Jeanne Cooper, who played Kay Chancellor]: She always gives me a hug, but I had to work with her since, I've been back. Everytime I see her, she gives me a big hug and I'm crazy about her and I think she's a wonderful woman. I love her charm, her character, her incredible talent and she's overall - a lot of fun to work with.

[Of Jeanne Cooper]: In the 1980s, I went with Jeanne to a fundraiser in Natchez, MS, and we stayed at a plantation hotel. It was a big, black tie and I remember I was in my room, getting ready when my phone rang. It was Jeanne and she said, 'Michael, I need your help!, My hair is a disaster!, Can you help me?' There was 100% humidity, so she was having severe hair issues. I asked, 'You want me to come to your room and do your hair?,' She said, 'Yes, can you help me?,' and I said, 'Sure,' so I grabbed my mousse, hairspray, hair blower and flat iron and brought them all to her room. I sprayed and blow-dried so I could get her hair really tall. I gave her a total '80s do. She looked like Sheena Easton. After I was done, she looked in the mirror and said, 'I look good,' I'll never forget doing her hair. I wish I would've taken a picture. Judging what my hair looked like, back then, you can just imagine how hers looked. She always said, 'I had the tallest hair in Hollywood.'

[About his wife]: Her smile, and her beauty and energy. She was shy when I first met her. She's staring at me right now. She's leaving the room now because I kicked her out. Actually, I met her at a telethon in Utah for the Children's Miracle Network. She was there with her dad, which I didn't know was her dad at the time, James Best, who is Rosco from The Dukes of Hazzard (1979). I thought it was her boyfriend! Later, I found out from my brother that it was her dad. Yeah, I was like 'God, she's so pretty and sweet' and I got this really good feeling when I met her. I was actually in shock when she said she was a Solid Gold dancer because I thought she'd be like 'hey I'm really cool, I'm on TV all the time,' but she was very shy and soft-spoken.
It was his performance on New American Bandstand 1965 (1952) in 1981 that impressed the producers of The Young and the Restless (1973). They were looking to add the character of a young rock star to the cast and created Danny Romalotti after seeing him perform.
