I'm really comfortable doing voice-overs, but it's really fun to do animation.

I lived in San Francisco for about eight years and I did a lot of improvisation there. The improvisational world ruled the voice world in San Francisco, so I became a voice talent there and did a lot of commercials and worked all the time. But I never could break into animation.

They're amazing, these actors who have worked on soaps for years and years and years. They know what they're doing. They don't hold you word-for-word on every line and you can fudge it a little, but they know what they're saying and they repeat it every time they come on.

Now, you always know there's going to be some compromise when you're doing something for television, and especially network television.

People who work on soaps all the time understand the formula of how to do it.

When the writing is good and it suits your character, you don't have to memorize anything, because it just makes sense. You read it and you go, "Oh, that makes sense." And it's easy.

It's a special kind of acting, soap opera acting. It's hard for me.
