Quotes by James Lafferty

• The lines of Pearl Art Glass are clean, certainly not cluttered.
• Although we hardly see each other off the set, Joy and I get along well when we do. As far as the marriage between Nathan and Haley, I think they are young and will see the reality of the situation eventually.
• I wouldn't say that I'm very similar to the character of Nathan at all. Both of us have had very different upbringings and backgrounds. I have a competitive nature like the character of Nathan. That's really easy to draw from when I'm acting; that's probably the biggest similarity.
• It has been common knowledge to informed collectors that many times the finest and rarest art glass is found unsigned.
• It is definitely a challenge to play Nathan, but the more different he is from myself, the more interesting the character becomes for me.
• My advice to an aspiring actor would be to never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if you want something, you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on your craft, learn from people who have something to teach. It's just like anything else, practice makes perfect.
• My New Year's resolution is to stick to a good workout plan that will keep me healthy and happy.
• People would be shocked to know... that despite the nature of my TV character, I am actually a nice guy.
• I don't get a whole lot out of the romance thing, but I realize girls do. So I'll go out of my way to make them feel romanced.
• The cast gets along pretty well, it's a good work environment. I hang out a lot with Brett Claywell, he plays Tim Smith on the show. We play plenty of basketball.
• I always have the most fun on the Fourth of July. You don't have to exchange any gifts. You just go to the beach and watch fireworks. It's always fun.
• The picture alone, without the written word, leaves half the story untold.
• The whole Haley-Nathan marriage deal was a pretty good twist huh? I hope we got all of you with it. That particular story line even suprised me when I read it, it's a good one and it'll provide for some good stories to come.
• Tom Hanks has been a huge idol of mine. I'd love to work with someone like him someday. You could learn a lot working with someone like that.
• Visual presentation of our heritage in glass is needed.
• What do I like in a girl? I like a girl that likes me, a girl that knows how to smile and see the bright side of things. A girl that makes me a better person.
• What I remember most about junior homecoming was my date getting sick afterwards. That kinda sucked. Then, senior year, someone got gum in her hair when we were dancing. She had to get one of the chaperones to take her to the office and cut up her hair. I felt really bad for her, but it worked out fine.
• When I'm trying to go to sleep and there are little noises, like a clock ticking or a fan squeaking, it drives me completely insane.
• Students of American glass must always keep in mind that the creations they collect are truly examples of our American culture... and thus have historical significance.
• I enjoy catching our show whenever I can. It does get very weird to watch myself, it's always been that way, but at the same time, it's part of my job to see what kind of job I'm doing and to get a perspective on where I'm taking the character.
