“I kind of went into soap opera with 'General Hospital' in the '80s. It's like theater because every day it's a new script, which really doesn't have a beginning, middle or end like a play or a movie script. So you have to be on your toes and bring it every day. And you have to be spontaneous, which is really how I like to work.” KindEndsPlayMiddleTheaterScriptsHospitalsOperaSpontaneousToes80sSoapSoap OperasBe SpontaneousGeneral Hospital Author:Jack Wagner
“The error in the art-genre of Opera consists herein: a Means of expression (Music) has been made the end, while the End of expression (the Drama) has been made a means.” MeanHas BeensArtMadeEndsExpressionDramaErrorsGenreOpera Book:Prose works Source: Prose works
“Baseball is the slow creation of something beautiful. It is the almost boringly paced accumulation of what seems slight or incidental into an opera of bracing suspense. The game will threaten never to end, until suddenly it forces you to marvel at how it came to be where it is and to wonder at how far it might go. It’s the drowsy metamorphosis of the dull into the indescribable.” EndsSeemsMightBeautifulGamesForceWonderCreationBaseballSuspenseDullOperaAccumulationMetamorphosisSomething BeautifulIndescribableDrowsy Author:Joshua Ferris
