When you're going to spend a couple of weeks with people, you want to be with people that are enjoyable.

I love to perform and I love to perform characters, and sometimes when I'm doing television and film, I just feel like I'm making a living. I'm good at it, but I'm not really being artistically challenged.

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.

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

You never know how things are going to turn out.

I'm usually sort of ambiguous in terms of whether I'm playing a good person or a bad person. I can walk that line of funny but also dark, and I'm happy doing that.

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