"If I'm as funny as he is in my life, I'm very happy. He's the funniest person ever — ever — to watch work. The crew loves him. That's the kind of impression I'd like to leave with the crew: 'Gosh, she made us laugh.' He's the kind of guy you want around. He makes everything better, no matter what's going on." — Martha Byrne (Lily), on Park, to Soap Opera Digest, 8/3/04
