people
People who work on soaps all the time understand the formula of how to do it.
They're amazing, these actors who have worked on soaps for years and years and years. They know what they're doing. They don't hold you word-for-word on every line and you can fudge it a little, but they know what they're saying and they repeat it every time they come on.
acting special kind
It's a special kind of acting, soap opera acting. It's hard for me.
If I play one psychic, then I'm playing a psychic at least three or four more times.
character writing easy
When the writing is good and it suits your character, you don't have to memorize anything, because it just makes sense. You read it and you go, "Oh, that makes sense." And it's easy.
kids environment realizing
When you work with kids, you realize if they have a really good, stable family environment that they're going to be okay.
couple people week
When you're going to spend a couple of weeks with people, you want to be with people that are enjoyable.
world talent break
I lived in San Francisco for about eight years and I did a lot of improvisation there. The improvisational world ruled the voice world in San Francisco, so I became a voice talent there and did a lot of commercials and worked all the time. But I never could break into animation.
real thinking tragedy
I naturally think in terms of comedy whenever I see anything because tragedy is so close to comedy, so I like to add the tragedy to the comedy or a little bit of comedy to the tragedy in order to make them both feel more real to me.
