Most people like to read about intrigue and spies. I hope to provide a metaphor for the average reader's daily life. Most of us live in a slightly conspiratorial relationship with our employer and perhaps with our marriage.

I've always said, I prefer the opera to the soap - those extreme characters and circumstances.

Life goes on, and I'm moving on to the next thing, but I hope the soaps that are still running will thrive. They have millions of loyal viewers.

It's much easier for me to be silly than it is to be serious on soap opera.

I'll never look down on and I love running into actors who say 'Oh yeah, I did a soap.' I say 'Tell me which one!' It's like being a member of a secret society.

It's a thrilling world, and people really like stories about secrets, which is the essence of a spy drama.

People have really long attention spans, and they love complicated plots. TV series are giving the audience what they want.

You have to think about the WWE as soap operas.

If you have to be in a soap opera try not to get the worst role.

I think the joy of any soap opera is it is always there. You are allowed into this world for a little while and it's safe in that you are watching other people go through some troubles rather than yourself. It's there every night, and there is something special about that sort of terrestrial television experience for a mass audience.
