- Alison Sweeney: When we're having eliminations, sometimes you can smell the Craft Services guy making grilled cheese or, like, bacon. And you know bacon. You can smell bacon. And we're sitting there and we're all being so silent and so serious in the eimination room. And I'm like "We all know there's bacon being cooked in the next room!"

- Alison: [On people knowing she was pregnant] As I joked with Ari on set last week, I'm glad everyone knows now, because now they all have to listen to me complain about Morning Sickness. Its been so difficult to deal with the nausea when you can't explain why you can't stand the smell of chicken.

- Alison Sweeney: [On learning an Irish accent for 'Days of Our Lives] Accents are extremely difficult… for anyone. No matter what their heritage. My family is from Ireland, which is fun to think back on… and I have been to Ireland once, which was one of the coolest experiences ever. It is so beautiful there. I hope to go back one day. But none of that was at all useful to me in learning this accent. It just came down to spending hours studying, practicing and then more studying. Ben is now read all his bed-time stories with an Irish lilt.
