Serial fiction is a conceit of comic books and soap operas. As one goes, so goes the other in terms of public consciousness.

Since I was eight years old. I didn't have a TV, so comic books were definitely my television, my soap operas, and all that.

I used to listen to the soap operas with my grandmother.

In order to get the things I want, it helps me to pretend I’m a figure in a daytime drama, a schemer. Soap opera characters make emphatic pronouncements. They ball up their fists and state their goals out loud. ‘I will destroy Buchanan Enterprises,’ they say. ‘Phoebe Wallingford will pay for what she’s done to our family.’ Walking home with the back half of the twelve-foot ladder, I turned to look in the direction of Hugh’s loft. ‘You will be mine,’ I commanded.

Women in Hollywood are tiny, but women in soap operas are the tiniest people alive!
