It's melodrama. It's a different style of acting that ... normal people don't act that way. 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.” [on soap operas] “They're fans. They couldn't really love you, because they don't know you. So either they are a fan or they are repulsed by you. I think I'd feel a responsibility to be real. I've done interviews where people just look at me and you can't get past the look of, "I know who you are and what you're about." And no one can know that.” “I just think people need to see people act passionately and not be in the sheets. They should be more passionate about their ideas, more passionate about what they believe in.” |
