Meaning of the quote
In Mexico, soap operas are made differently than in other countries. The actors don't have to memorize all their lines. Instead, they just need to understand the overall story and have someone feed them their lines while they are acting. This makes it easier for the actors to focus on their performance and bring the characters to life.
