Joseph: (asked what he likes about the character Stefano) It's a wonderful fantasy to have the kind of power he has. He's not a gangster per se, but he has world-class power. If he needed something, he'd hire Tony Soprano to do it rather than soil his own hands. It's really no fun playing a guy who kills. I enjoy playing a character who plays with a person's mind.
Joseph: (asked how he was wooed back to "Days Of Our Lives" in 2007) What had, in the past, been a ticking point - the fact that I wasn't interested in returning for a guest spot - we managed to work through. (Executive producer) Ken Corday discussed what the writers had in mind, which was to get to the heart of the DiMera/Brady feud; to find out why this vendetta exists.
Joseph: (on operas) Operas are so wild, in the sense that if it's done perfectly, there's nothing more beautiful in the world. But, if it's badly done, you can't stand it.
