1. "People are going to be shocked by my first album. It is going to reveal my unseen mature side and I've even co-written some of the songs. I think I could be the next James Blunt." — Jesse Metcalfe on his debut album
2. "Probably a surprise trip to the Bahamas with my first girlfriend. That was pretty romantic, and a good time. I think it’s the little things that really show you care, and that you’re romantic on a daily basis. Little notes are nice, or gifts, or just taking a girl out to dinner and showing her a good time and treating her well. Those kind of things." — Jesse Metcalfe on the most romantic thing he's ever done for a girl
3. "I wasn’t in the popular crowd. I was more of an outsider. A little bit on a loner, kind of like an alternative kid. I was into dyeing my hair different colours and wearing concert T-shirts. I played sports a little bit, but I wasn’t a jock. I was into the arts, but I wasn’t an art school nerd. I was just me, I guess. I only had a couple of good friends and went out with the same girl three out of four years of high school." — Jesse Metcalfe on his school days
4. "When I was 15, I went to Aruba with a friend. We rented Jet Skis, which you could only ride for about 20 minutes, the you had to bring them back. Some of the pro guys were beaching theirs, driving them onto the sand and looking all cool. I was like, 'I want to do that.' I pulled mine onto the sand and got tossed over the front of it. There were, like, 60 people waiting to rent Jet Skis, and everyone was cracking up. I stood up, and everyone applauded. It was pretty embarrassing." — Jesse Metcalfe on his most embarrassing moment
