Tammy Blanchard (Drew Jacobs, Guiding Light)

"Joie is wonderful – she's sweet and innocent, and she's great to work with," praises Blanchard. "Before we have to cry in a scene, we go behind the set, hold each other's hands, look into each other's eyes and make each other cry! It's such an awesome thing, because we really are working together." - Soap Opera Digest - November 24, 1998

Hilarie Burton (Peyton Sawyer, One Tree Hill)

"She’s from somewhere very far away and we thank God every day that they sent her here because she is so unique and so just different from any person I’ve ever met." - MTV Diary, April 2004

"She’s she’s gotta record an album, she’s gotta be on Broadway. And so it’s only a matter of time before that happens. I just feel that she’s one of those people who’s way too good to be down here with us." - MTV Diary, April 2004

Patti D'Arbanville (Selena Davis, Guiding Light)

"I love Michelle's character. I have to say that I love Joie, with all her youthful abandon equally if not more than I love Rebecca's portrayal. She is fresher and even though younger than PAS, she holds herself well." - Fansite Chat - June 27, 1999

Jan Garrett (writer, producer and star of "The End of August")

"Joie was great in the film and portrayed her character with realism and honest emotion. I can't see anyone else playing this part. Joie is a pleasure to work with and a true professional. A real classy lady!" - Excerpt from JLC email

David Hartley (Producer, One Tree Hill)

"She's quiet, soulful. That's a good word for her. She's one of those people who are just really talented. She's always singing. She has a beautiful voice. She's focused and passionate about the work she's doing."

Mary Tyler Moore (Mary, Mary & Rhoda)

"She's adorable, she's smart and she's cute. I am thrilled that she is my daughter." - Access Hollywood

Robert Newman (Josh Lewis, Guiding Light)

IamSHAY: Your scenes with teen Cleva(what is her name?) and Peter Hermann have been FANTASTIC! Everyone interacts so well and the ranges of emotions appear to be spontaneous. Great acting for all!

"Joie Lenz....wasn't she great.. I got her a gold bracelet at the end of the shoot that had "Reva 17" inscribed on it... What a talent... We shot 7 shows in 5 days that first week... almost 200 solid pages of material.. it could have been a horrific experience... It was great fun... I hope they can bring her back, perhaps as another character or on another P&G show.. Thanks, and I'm glad you are enjoying it." - SOD Online Interview - March 27, 1998

Michael O'Leary (Dr. Rick Bauer, Guiding Light)

I really enjoy your scenes with Joie Lenz. You seem to have a great rapport. Do you enjoy working with her?

"Very much so. We visit together a lot, about writing in particular. She feels like my little sister." - Soap City Chat - August 24, 2000

Saundra Santiago (Carmen Santos, Guiding Light)

"She's a sweetie. She always knows her lines, I'm so impressed." - Soap Opera Digest - March 2, 1999

"Oh yes. She's a sweetheart! I bet all of you are saying, `She's just saying all these things because she has to,' but it's really true. I work with the most wonderful and the sweetest actors. Paul Anthony, I absolutely adore. Joie is very good. She's so good with her lines; she's very young and she's very hip to everything. She's very talented, she sings, you know." - SOD Online Chat - August 2, 1999

"And Joie is a joy to work with -- Joie's a joy! They're both great. If Joie leaves, I'll miss her.She's a sweetheart. I predict she's going to be a big star, and you'll see a lot from Joie." - SOD Online Chat - April 12, 2000

Mark Schwan (Creator & Writer, One Tree Hill)

"We were fortunate enough to find Bethany Joy.....[she is a] free spirit and the best human being." - WB.com - May 2, 2004

"Joy likes to be alone, to do her own thing, Being a star is the biggest challenge. She doesn't have to be the center of attention." - Wilmington Star News - May 4, 2004

Paul Anthony Stewart (Danny Santos, Guiding Light)

"I purposely didn't watch the show, because when I went to try for the role, I read with Joie, who hadn't started to air yet. I knew that whatever I was going to find in the character was going to be from working with Joie." - TV Guide Interview - March 1, 1999

"Joie is the type of colleague who's very professional and mature." - TV Guide Interview - March 1, 1999

"It's funny because Joie and I disagree on a lot of things, but we just have chemistry, and chemistry is a mysterious… maybe it's the fact that we actually don't agree on a lot of things."- Soap Opera Digest - September 7, 1999

"I love working with Joie... My first impression of Joie was, "Damn, she's 17." [To Lenz] I know you get that thrown in your face a lot, but it's very impressive what you're doing at your age. Those first few months were intense, but I think the reward is that they laid the groundwork for something really solid that we can stand on now." - Soap Opera Digest - September 7, 1999

[re: Joie's departure] "But I understand. I did it earlier in my career. Everyone has their own meter for when it's time for them to move on. And I love Joie. I will miss her immensely. I already do. It's funny, because I'm working with a wonderful actress named Elizabeth Hobgood, who plays May, but I feel like I'm cheating on Joie. -  Soaps In Depth - October 24, 2000

[re: His last scenes with Joie] "I’m glad that we did not have ‘farewell’ scenes, in which we knew that it was Joie’s last day, because that would have been too difficult to play. [...] They looked at each other, and Michelle turned and walked away," recounts Stewart. "So now, after the fact, it all takes on an even deeper meaning. I’m glad I didn’t know at the time that that was going to be the last thing [Joie and I did together.] Because I would have just been a mess." -  Soaps In Depth - October 24, 2000

[re: His wishes for Joie's future] "Oh, just that she’s happy," he answers. "Whether she goes to school, pursues her singing, if she leaves the business altogether and wants to have a family… whatever it is, that she has a great life." -  Soaps In Depth - October 24, 2000

Laura Wright (Cassie Layne, Guiding Light)

"She is wearing blue contacts, and her hair is naturally curly," Laura Wright (Cassie) explains. "She is an awesome actress, and for someone her age to be that good is really nice. You just don't find it that much. She's getting ready to turn 17, and she can act her butt around most adults. She's really going to be snapped up by somebody." - Soap Opera Weekly - April 7, 1998

Kim Zimmer (Reva Shayne, Guiding Light)

Sexcess1 asks: I loved Joie Lenz in her portrayal of you at 17. Were you anything like that and also will she come back to the show as a distant relative as its been rumored?

"I was so much like Joie Lenz' portrayal that it scared me. I had to keep my distance from her." - People Online Chat - May 14, 1998
