The show is escapism. If you look back to when I was in college, all the girls in the sorority houses were gathered around watching soap operas.

We are the modern-day soap opera.
I never learned music. I'm quite uneducated, and usually I sat in front of the TV, with soap operas on, in England. It was very inspiring for me, I'd done all this traveling around, I came back living with my parents, everyone around me was like they're living in a soap opera.
