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

This whole thing about reality television to me is really indicative of America saying we're not satisfied just watching television, we want to star in our own TV shows. We want you to discover us and put us in your own TV show, and we want television to be about us, finally.

Despite the impression you may have from watching too much TV, movies are not about reproducing reality. They're about telling stories.

I believe that reality TV should be called 'not reality' TV; it's fiction.

I don't think movies or television have any basis in reality at all. It's all just pretend. That's what's fun about it.

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 you look at American studios, the big productions have nothing to do with reality.

But reality television is here to stay.
