“When I first thought of the idea for 'Sweet Valley High,' I loved the idea of high school as microcosm of the real world.

“Acting is not a genteel profession. Actors used to be buried at a crossroads with a stake through the heart. Those people's performances so troubled the onlookers that they feared their ghosts. An awesome compliment. Those players moved the audience not such that they were admitted to a school, or received a complimentary review, but such that the audience feared for their soul.
