Ironically, that was quite a bit of the appeal of Rumours. It's equally interesting on a musical level and as a soap opera.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Rumours are a part and parcel of being an actor, and I am okay with that.
Music has always played a big part in my life and, believe it or not, in my soap opera career.
I've always said, I prefer the opera to the soap - those extreme characters and circumstances.
I think with musicals, it's much more part of the script. They don't want songs that would stop the show; they need songs that keep the plot moving.
I'm obviously very keen on the theater and I think it's inevitable that some of the orchestral and chamber pieces have got dramatic elements which might even suggest an unspecified dramatic plot of some kind or other, even though it's not in my mind at the time.

The musicals had a good, happy feeling, saying that the world is a better place. They say it's not reality, but who cares? There's too much reality these days.
In some theoretical way I know that a half-million people hear the show. But in a day-to-day way, there's not much evidence of it.
I was definitely surprised when Talk Radio took off as a play. As a film it has become somewhere between a popular thing and a cult thing.
You have to think about the WWE as soap operas.
