TREVOR ON KASSIE DEPAIVA
[Quotes in bold are new.]

Trevor on Kassie DePaiva (Blair)

"Kassie [DePaiva, Blair] was very helpful showing me the ins and out of working in this genre -- like camera blocking and how things work." (SOD 7/27/04)

(his first impression of Kassie) "I thought she was kind of a spitfire who knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to say it. Someone with her feet on the ground, which I like. Actors are notoriously full of it, and she isn't that." (SOD 2/15/05)

(on improvising his lines with Kassie) "That's what is great about her. That's what I really like about Kassie. I like to improvise, not so much lines, but behavior, and the mark of a good actor is whether you're listening and paying attention enough to play along. Some actors can't do it. They just get floored and they get flustered and they feel like they're out of control, that their performance is being jeopardized, and Kassie's not like that." (SOD 2/15/05)

(on Kassie's best attribute) "I'd say her...well, physically the whole package is pretty nice. Personality, it's warmth. A real underlying sense of friendliness. I don't mean that in the most superficial way. I mean a real, genuine warmth. ... I did luck out [in being able to work with Kassie]. Absolutely." (SOD 2/15/05)

"Kassie's a great gal, and can improvise, too. We throw each other curve balls, and it's no problem. She's a good sport and talented." (SID 8/1/06)

"I'm sure many of you will join me in wishing Kassie (Blair) a very happy birthday on Wednesday the 21st of March! While our characters certainly have their ups and downs, I really like working with her. She's a sincerely sweet person and a talented actress, to boot." (Official Website Blog 3/19/07)

"From the time I joined 'One Life to Live,' Kassie DePaiva (Blair) has been a generous friend to me." (Official Website Blog March 2007)

"It's always fun to bring new characters on. It's fun to work with totally new people and explore new things. But if I only worked with Kassie, I'd still be happy.” (SoapTownUSA.com 6/30/07)

"Kassie DePaiva is one of the most beautiful souls I have ever met. I am constantly impressed by her kindness, generosity and patience. And she is quite a talent, too. It's a pleasure to know her and work with her." (SOD 10/16/07)

(on wanting Todd and Blair to break their repetitive cycle) "I love working with Kassie [DePaiva] and if they want to write a Todd and Blair storyline, terrific, fine with me -- just don't keep repeating the same thing." (SOD 6/23/09)

(on playing a grandfather while still in his 30s) "Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. Of course, if Kassie [DePaiva, Blair] were here, she would say [mimics her Southern drawl], 'That's because I'm old!'" (SOD 6/30/09)

"I do miss my friends who I laughed a lot with on the set. I laughed with Michael Easton (John) a ton, and we were ridiculous on the set! We would laugh with Florencia, and Kassie, and Kristen Alderson (Starr) and everybody." (Michael Fairman Interview 10/27/11)

"Kassie is great! I will tell you she is one of the lucky people. She is such an interesting person. So she does not have to try very hard, and when she doesn't try very hard she is really brilliant. I mean really brilliant! She has all the talent." (Michael Fairman Interview 10/27/11)

"I miss some of the laughter that I had with Michael [Easton, John], Florencia, Kassie [DePaiva, Blair] and Kristen [Alderson, Starr] and those guys, but I don't miss the job anymore." (SID 5/14/12)
