Television and movies have short-circuited reality. I don't think a lot of people are entirely clear on what is real and what is on the screen.

If reality shows are so popular, that means their viewers are screaming for more realness.

That's one thing about Hollywood. People don't always want what's real. People always want a little more. So for me, it's a compromise. Here you go, that hyper-reality.

What has reality shows got to do with reality? It is beyond unreality; there is nothing real about it.

Reality shows are all the rage on TV at the moment, but that's not reality, it's just another aesthetic form of fiction.

If I was to have a reality show, it wouldn't be a show based on my personal life. I'd want it to showcase me and my girls on tour, like living life as a young artist, not exposing what goes on in my family situations.

There's people who watch shows while they're preparing their dinners, and they don't want to focus, and they don't want to be challenged, and whatever. And then there's people who want to really sit down and get into a character in a world, and feel like they're expanding, or they have complex relationships, or whatever.

I have a thing against reality shows. I think they are so fake. I think they are produced before they begin. I think people know where they're going, what they're going to say, what the situation is. These things just don't happen and you know that.
