But reality television is here to stay.

I think that's where reality TV works - you don't know where it's going.

There was a time when idealistic folksingers such as myself believed that Reality TV was a programming vogue that would peak and recede, leaving only its hardiest show-offs. Instead, it has metastasized like toxic mold, filling every nook and opening new crannies.

Reality TV rots people's brains.

The reality shows are getting worse and worse. They're out of control and have been for some time.

I don't know what reality television does, but it breaks up relationships.

Even though reality TV is very manipulated, it's all manipulated so that something real happens. And so, our job in this era is to make that real thing happen, because nobody wants to see any more manipulated, pre-planned performances. That era is over.

I've never seen a reality show. I don't watch television.
