Eric Braeden: Nelson Paradine

Quotes 

• Nelson Paradine : So next you're going to tell me you're going to join the circus?

  Stacey Hyatt : Join a circus? Nelson, you, and your strongman, and your traveling vans, you are the circus. I want to join reality.

• Nelson Paradine : I'm going to tell you what reality is. Reality is the moment you step out of that door, your acting career is dead. The reality is that you have no acting talent, no typing talent. And in fact, you have no talent for anything remunerative that I've been able to discern.

• Nelson Paradine : I mean to own you, Alex. Lock, stock, and process.
