Soaps are a great springboard for any actor but if you want to be taken seriously, you have to be careful.

Soap opera wouldn't be my first choice, but at this point in my life, I would consider a soap. It would allow me to act and still do other things with my life.

The soaps are great training. You can form good habits - or you can form bad habits. You have to set your goals. If you're not clear on what you want, you can slip into bad habits. It can become a comfortable place, and you don't grow.

It irritates me so much the way people talk about soaps because it is far more difficult working on a soap than it is on a big studio film.

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

Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants.

Soaps are great. You learn to work very fast - some say superficially, but that's not really true. You do some very serious character work. I've never had any feelings about a stigma attached to it, and nowadays there seems to be less snobbery about what you do. More and more big names are doing TV and commercials and voiceovers.

That's the problem with soaps, of course. The stories never end. They can go on and on and on.

Soaps taught me the fundamentals of the game. You know, how to show up, hit your mark, how to be on time. That soap opera world is a microcosm of the entertainment culture.

Nothing is as hard as working on a British soap in this industry.
