There's no one more willing to do something than an actor when it comes to perfecting a scene.
There are some directors I hear about in nighttime or some I used to work with who walk around like gods.
Writing for a soap - writing for 25 characters day in, day out - is one of the most difficult jobs in Hollywood.
I think 'Y&R's future is contingent upon the ratings. Obviously, none of the soaps are kept alive for the sake of loyalty. It's all about ratings. It's show business. Period.
When I think about my great conversations with Marlon Brando on the set of 'Morituri,' I think there's a story there, just as I do with my experience working with James Cameron on 'Titanic.' And then there are all my years on 'Y&R' and all that has happened there.
