Tyler Christopher Quotations

Leaving 'GH' was not my choice. I wanted to stay and work out a deal, and that was not an option to me.

Acting is about acting, not about being a movie star.

I have zero idea of what my involvement with 'The Lying Game' is going to be. I'm a character that may or may not be permanently involved.

Being on daytime TV has its benefits. You can still have a life and you know you have a check coming every week.

You hope for the best, but it's really OK if you don't win. They say it's just nice to be nominated, and it really is.

I was finally given the right help and the right opportunities and I came through. (Tyler) and I have been working together with help from Athletics Canada, this is the year.

I don't think it's too early to lay that on him, ... He has the skill set to compete against the best in the world. To join figureheads like Perdita (Felicien) and Mark (Boswell) ... that would be fantastic. The more we have as Canadians, the better off we will be.

He is determined to win the gold at the Commonwealth Games, but he knows it won't be easy.

That will be a good meet. There will be five guys there that were in the final of the World Championships.

We watched the video of his first heat over and over, ... He was 12 metres back after 300 metres. To close 12 metres over the final 100 ... that is incredible.

We think it would be better for him to take his break during September and reconvene October 1 for preparation towards Australia,

And they will be after the same thing,

I've seen too many athletes come over hoping to do their personal best or to get a bronze or just compete,

It's kind of cool. My coach thought that I might have a chance to win one award this year, but to win both is really exciting.

It shows the level of maturity she has, ... She's decided this is something she's very serious about, she's not just thinking about the next four years.

I don't know if it's a Canadian thing. We have a comfortable life and this (the worlds) is an uncomfortable environment and it wears you down. But if you start thinking about bronze, you aren't keeping your eye on the prize.

(The hamstring) doesn't appear to be too bad, but we might be pushing it to have him travel back inside a week, ... We are both very happy with his season to date, we exceeded all of our goals.

I'm very competitive.

I was certain I was going to do something in sports.

The key is to keep improving. I'm not there yet. I know I have to keep trying to improve and keep trying to get faster.

Working with my new coach has helped a lot. I've been a lot more focused and I'm doing all the little things in order to get faster. It's been a total lifestyle change really.

One thing I savor about what I do is the relationships that I've earned over the years. Becky Herbst and I have been working together for 17 years. I've seen how everything has evolved over the years, and I've seen all three of her kids being born. Because it's personal, I would have to say I'd like to see him with Elizabeth.

Leaving GH was not my choice. I wanted to stay and work out a deal, and that was not an option to me.
