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.

I have so much respect for television actors and directors. We're on set doing 16-hour days, and that's just what we do.

Soap operas are such a great way to break-in to the industry. The diminishing landscape of daytime TV means it's going to be harder for young talent to get discovered.

Fans who drive insane amount of hours to come to a show still amazes me. I mean, it can get up to 10 hours! That's loyalty.

It's amazing the hours you pull when you're the lead of a show.

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 like soap opera acting. If it's done really well, there's nothing better. It's old school. It's like what those melodramas in the '30s and '40s were like.

It takes a lot out of you to do a one-hour episodic lead of a show. I don't think actors realize that when they take the job.

Soap Actors are fun and interesting. They all have something special that you want to be around.

It's a lot of a workload doing an hour dramatic show. It's just incredible what little time off you get.
