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

It's better to be on a soap opera to renew your career and following than to be on any other medium.

There is a bit of a 'once a soap actor always a soap actor' thing, but I do think people still recognise talent. If you're good at something, then people have no choice but to accept it.

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

Growing up in the entertainment industry, I've had a lot of people tell me I'm not good enough.

When I started acting, I was told over and over again, 'You're no good.' But I said to myself, 'You've got to keep it up.'

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.

I have the absolute utmost respect for soap opera actors now. They work harder than any actor I know in any other medium. And they don't get very much approbation for it.

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