There's no better training than working on a soap opera because of the amount of hours, the amount of pages you do a day are unbelievable. It's the best training I had in terms of discipline.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The soap opera was so long ago - the thing about soap operas, and there's something to be said for doing it, but you do a script a day. I don't want to say it's a training ground; it really isn't, but what it does teach you is discipline.
Doing the soaps, every day it's constant training. Dealing with camera angles, the other people - it's great training.
There is nothing harder than working 50 pages a day, working 16 hours a day, trying to be good with only shooting rehearsals.
The most important training, though, is to experience life as a writer, questioning everything, inventing multiple explanations for everything. If you do that, all the other things will come; if you don't, there's no hope for you.
You learn more doing than doing training.
It's all to do with the training: you can do a lot if you're properly trained.
I think sometimes the best training is to rest.
Training is fabulous because it gives you a basis, a strong structure, so that when you're unbelievably nervous and you think that you can't get a word out, you will get the word out.
I acted for so many years and sat on a million sets and worked with a million different directors so that is to me some of the best training you can get.
It's better to be on a soap opera to renew your career and following than to be on any other medium.
