- Drake: (contemplating leaving Days of our Lives) At some point, everybody is going to leave the show. I have six months left on my contract, so… After 20 years of throwing fan club gatherings, this is the final mission. The reality of it is, sooner or later, you're at the tail of your talent cycle, whether it be here or somewhere else.

- Drake: (on the gym he helped build) It's not a sweatshop like most gyms. There are physical therapists, nutritionists and medical doctors on staff.

- Drake: (leaving baseball & joining Days of our Lives) I feel a little guilty sometimes because what did I do? I came out here, never having been to California in the off-season, and the proverbial spin on the ball changes. My body was all torn down from the season, and I needed some rest and rehabilitation and to get away from baseball, get it out of my mind. And I got this job.
